SHE SOUGHT HER LIBERTY

 

 

SHE SOUGHT HER LIBERTY

 

A balmy night a moon lit sky

she gazed at stars and stared

deep into spaces limitless

as many had before.

 

The angst-filled brief her pride had cast

her mind resumed its night mare task

convinced of sin which none but her

could see or recognise.

           

She stood quiescent yet remained

still fettered by her own design

and though conceding to despair

she probed herself anew.

 

Vain circles shadows cast aside

sincere the absolution sought

with strength anew in her resolve

she yearned her self release.
