She lately hears lyric nightingale at the sole window,
And through its bars witnesses a melancholy moon,
And her heart longs for the freedom of velvety flight,
But lessons she now knows weren't learned too soon!
An innocent victim of childhood abuse and ensuing rage,
In the days of sugar plum fairies and make believe,
A streetwise teenage runaway, who soon lost her way,
After making an unwise choice of whom she would love!
During lights out she makes plans and begins to reminisce,
Knowing in her young heart, it won't always be like this,
Like the transient rainbows that are destined to reappear,
Or the twinkling stars that often grant fervent wishes!
Her youth has mercifully granted her second chances,
In accordance both with beautiful logic and holy decree!
youth is the velvet spring of second chances, if we take a chance and take our chances, a melancholy moon is stay put don't try fear, transient rainbows are after the rain comes quickening hope, twinkling stars whisper make a wish fly prison bars free
Very beautifully written and expressed poetry. Every word speaks truth. Thank-you.
Nice one. As long as you breathe Gods free air there is always another way not necessarily the highway. Seize the chance stop the trance. Nice and uplifting
