                 The Price of Freedom  5/9/05

He opens his arms to the sky
A cry of joy springs from his lips
For the chains that once bond him are gone
He is now among the free
Among those who choose their pathes
And can do and say what is in the head
They are free
And so is he

He marvels at the mountains
such a vibrant blue
an eagle soars above his head
he,  marveling at its freedom
sings aloud a tuneless string of notes
for life is corsing though his veins

The rought iron shackles nave been lifted
And their weight removed
And no longer is he behind the bars
For a crime he did not commit
He was let out back to his home

He reaches the door
And screams aloud
For on the floor lies his loving wife
So devoted to freeing him
His children young and naive of the world
Lie dead with exspressions of fear on their faces
Now he questions, was freedom worth this price?

Fantasies unwind while day's sleeping

Slowly night withdraws its cloak, receding for dawn
Time leaves the night behind, it moving on

                                      Morning Wind Blowing

Morning wing blowing
Melody brings back memory
In a silent song

                                      Courage 12/14/05

To face the flame
But not stir the fire
For no reason
To brandish the sheild
But never swing the sword

To link arms and drive out all but good away
To unite and face the fear
And to die for another's life

This is brave to me
But brave is a word
And words can mean many a thing
So to you it is another
And to me it is this
