Caught in the prison of my mind
A long term detainee, awaiting freedom;
Except,
Over fifteen years
I’ve forgotten what freedom was.

Leave you Spellbound
Love is love and everything else is something else
We all feel....but differently!
...within me, around me.
"The silence of the night awakens my soul"
Sometimes, on rare occasions, continents collide.
Living life like there is a tomorrow
Pain goes in, love comes out.
An Exploration Of My Soul
Facing the unknown... one questionable life choice at a time.

And, indeed, it is SO true that someone can actually be a prisoner for so long that they forget what freedom is like. The question then becomes, what do they do when they ARE finally freed? Some wander, some thrive … but do you know there are actually those that turn around and walk right back into the prison because it has actually become more “comfortable.” Excellent write! 🙂

…yes Ruth.Words of truth and as Jon mentioned there are those who fear freedom itself! Cannot handle it…and then how do you define freedom? The ability to stay grounded and true to your inner Self?…note capital S? We have all been prisoners to some extent in one way or another and we all seek this Freedom that we know has never ever actually left us. Aaah I had better go before I philosophise too much… Thank you Ruth for these gem-words! Hope you have a comfortable day, take good care… 🌹❤️

Aw, I love to read your words, Krys, so philosophize away! You and Jon are both so right about the meaning I was aiming to reflect here, and I am happy I’ve done well enough for it to be recognized. Ever so glad you like these words! Hope you’re enjoying yourself as well, my friend! Have a wonderful day! :)<3
