Freedom now and ever after
Hope lingered but briefly, chapter by chapter
Too long, kept on in secrecy
Come fast the time. Unchained to be
Strange Spectators shriek and shudder
But not a word could ever utter
No words now, no lips could pass
To change the leap that was too vast
Freedom now and ever after
Unto a world promised peace would capture
Enveloped by soft river’s landing
Alone at last, existence expanding
Far away now from those who never know
That which leaping lady dare not show
Or perhaps free from world’s complicit collusion
The ancient masterpiece. Human illusion!
Waters greet with gushing grace
The lonely lady who lost her face
And found it flowing through a dream
But all they hear. Her haunting scream.
