The Wisdom Of Balance Poem by Rebecca Dalmaso

Nobody told us freedom is never free
Truth leads the way for reality
Who could have set us down in this place
Promise of paradise but only a taste
They told us to be gentle they told us to be kind
In our secret hearts lays anger that makes us blind
Harsh is the journey to the wisdom of balance
The fight to survive requires all of our talents
Confusion we own each day and each night
We suffer the darkness for a glimpse of the light.
