Open wide all windows
cast out shadows from the past
dust the cobwebs from the sills
to halt the memory - - this gloom
Broaden all horizons
let eyes perceive the blue
slip through
the overcast of clouds
There’ll be no malingering
on this pedestal
you see ... negligent hands
left freedom’s door unattended and
on her own free will
she felt the breeze
then lift her wing
... though broken now
in time she’ll sing
to her calling
upon the leas
