Freedom Poem by chantelle ribeiro

Words locked in silent thought
A woman
Newly born
Shackles and chains at her feet
The world her stage
Her role to share experience
Her gift her heart
It spills its secrets
cascading an endless flow
Of wisdom
Her passion
Reverberating in a poem
Soothing the broken souls
The victims of sorrow
Freedom
She soars on the wings of words
Her voice
Newly found and bitter-sweet
Make women smile
And grown men weep
