So free.....

She was standing there
on the edge of the rock
and was looking down
the wind was playing with her hair
and the sun lighten her face
for the last time
She was standing there
so free, for the last time so free
She was standing there
like my shadow
she saw the wide world
and spread her hands
as the wings for the last flight
so free.., so very free......
And she was happy
I was standing by
and I asked:
"Arent you afraid
dont you feel fear?
The rock is so high,
my girl?"
She rejoined:
"I have my wings, I am gonna fly
I am so free, I do not owe to anyone"
"And dont you owe something
to yourself ,girl?
Are you sure
you will be free in the grave?"
And she, again calmly replied:
"there will be my flash
the soul gets its freedom"
Suddenly the earth quivered
and she fell down
throughout the silent world
sounded her scream....
She caught the overhang
was hanging there
so free, so free
and still she was tied
with the chains of fear
Was it her inside fear?
Or direction from heaven?
Was it the wind blowing stronger?
The tone of her voice
has changed
and she implored
so full of fear
"Please save me,
please help!!!
To kill myself
was a stupid mistake"
Freedom without chains
chains without freedom
one will never be free
Going for her
messengers of death
tearing her off
from the rocks
She is holding the rock tight
she shouts and sees ...
black space, emptiness,
nothingness and chains
there is no freedom for her
she is not free
never more free.....
Her wings are broken
and flash without life
I saw her
and could not help
I woke up, sweat
full of fear
was she my shadow
was I just her????
I am pondering on,
musing upon
was that just warning?
prediction?
Or just my own dream
created of my daily thoughts?
I am pondering on,
musing upon
and again asking myself:
Do I ever more
want to be free ???
Freedom without chains
chains without freedom
Freedom with chains
is better than the last yell
when you are falling down
when your heart is clutched
when you are not and never will be
FREE
Just chose yourself: nothingness
or freedom with chains?

Aika....this poem had me sitting on the edge of my chair.
It was so well written, and had me right there!
How many times I've felt I wanted to be free.
And then it suddenly dawned on me.
No matter how many chains they put on me.
No matter how many locks on my door....
They can't reach my brain and my thoughts
It will always be free.....and when it is free....
then so am I!
Love it Aika.....just loved it
lovingcritters
