Moment of Freedom


The shedding of shackles and confine
This quest of spirit and mind
The moment of birthing freedom sought
Beyond the illusion suppression has taught
The reach to the God within
To vanquish each false sin
With brush and paint I to proclaim
This Moment of Freedom in Truth's name
Peaks and flames of passion and desire
The light and glory of Spirit's known fire.

    I respond well to the poem, but even more so to the art work.

    "Peaks and flames of passion and desire

    I'm with Dave on this one - beautiful painting that is reflected well in the words.

    this poem is like something I'm waiting for-I've still got shackles and I'm not free of them yet,but I hope it will be soon.This poem gives me a sense of what I'm looking for...it's kinda hard for me to explain what I felt what I read this poem..:)

    SnowAngelJin - each of us has to work through the constraints that have been imposed or have grown out of our experiences - this is the work of life. With confront and resolve those shackled are loosened and ultimately freed.


    Catherine, I feel your compliment. Thank you!
