Trapped
Inside
My body yearns
To stretch
To step away
To feel the warmth of the sun on my face
Outside
My mind yearns
To see past barriers
Of windows, of doors
To smell new mown grass
My soul yearns
To be free from hard lines
Invisible black lines drawn through life
To feel the beat of my heart
My hands and my feet
Dependable and strong
Carry me forward
My eyes and ears
Reliable and acute
See and hear possibilities
Accept the challenge to break free
Listening to the yearnings of body, mind and soul.
“But you, children of space, you restless in rest,
you shall not be trapped nor tamed.”
~ Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
