My eyes were closed. Shut tight as a vacuum trapped, Expression wanting to escape. The teasing of the angels taunt. Play with my heart as feelings taut,. Deep rooted running wild as Japanese Knotweed, White trumpets serenade silently. I breathe somehow smiling. Lordly messages profess. Take a deep breath, breathe out regret. And the popes' white smoke speak relief. Freedom is heralded, loudly in mind. And now I live once more. (C) LIVVI
