Through dreamy landscapes Mind travels Between god And the sky My spirit revels In new found freedom Thought flight Now safe The barbed wire gone No longer am I snagged Upon the electric strands Of fear That held me For so long.
I have experienced mental illness in my past and it does still have a residue that I am currently busting. The fear about deep and hidden things is one of the most pernicious weeds that needs dealing with. This poem is a short recognition of my growing courage. I used to dream of wires in the sky like electric cables which snagged me as I tried to fly.
