#OctPOWriMo : Prompt 17 - Cascade- “Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.” ― Rumi
A lovely form that helped me cascade my thoughts into the enchanting realm of imagination and creativity . Tried my best to implement the hint given in the prompt .
Hope you like my poem :-)
Living under the shadow, in camouflage,
She felt breathless, her freedom sabotaged,
She felt chained by the dreams of others, imprisoned.
Long has she sacrificed, her heart torn apart,
Long has she lived for others, played her part,
She rebelled-
Living under the shadow, in camouflage.
Today, finally she allowed her dreams to surface,
Wriggling out of the dark dungeon of suppression,
Heaving a sigh of relief, salvation- from her past,
She felt breathless, her freedom sabotaged.
Spreading her wings, aiming the distant horizon,
She danced at this freedom,
She was no more a prisoner, neither,
She felt chained by the dreams of others, imprisoned.

You've made this form seem effortless. Nicely done.

Delete"Long has she lived for others, played her part" . . . This line particularly stood out to me. We can live with others in mind - and that's a good thing - but we can do so without denying who we are meant to be as individuals.
ReplyDeleteTrue that :-)
DeleteBravo! how did I miss this?:(
