Resurrection

As the snow melted
in early spring
I finally find a voice
with which to sing
Buried deep underground
with my crushed dreams
I suffocated there where
no one heard my screams
 
My instinct was to be free
Away from this wretched grave
An inhospitable prison
where I had been a slave
Pushing the earth upwards
my soul was set free
No longer indebted
and never more your devotee

photos by Mary Frances as inspiration.  I love the one
I chose!

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

  2. I love this image, too. I love the way you describe the emerging, and the way you link personal freedom with the changing seasons. I think you add a narrative to the image beautifully here.

  7. This image intrigued me as well. You did a terrific job finding the dark poetic Poe-like moments, as well as creating a metaphor for #Metoo.

  10. This was the other image I was drawn to, Christine, and I love what it has inspired you to write. You’ve brought it to life with the emergence from the snow,the new voice, and freedom..
