Set The Spirit Free Poem by Anthony Raymond

Once, it was new
The pathway clear
Everything flowed
Without restriction

Time takes a toll
Bits and pieces
Pushing through
Sediment; sludge

Solidifying matter
Space reduction
Forward pressure
Building backward

Need for cleansing
Internal restoration
The bits and pieces
Fragmented dreams

Penetrate through
Living waters flow
Make all things new
To matters of soul

Empty the waste
Discard the debris
Remove the snake
Set the spirit free
