RELEASE
Restrained by depths
of deepest glade
her tortured mind
though tempered not with steadied ease
and not endowed
with confidence,
no social code, no etiquette
enslaves the girl,
an index to her character.
Departure from this darkling hold
emboldening her reticence,
her arms aloft in high embrace,
avoiding thorns
in open land where fallen lie,
in unintrusive rest and point
to where she seeks,
with kindling smile,
release from troubles hold.
