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.
