We are contained, all prisoners
Eyes flickering in search of sanction,
A brief call of freedom, a little respite
The flavoured fruits of nourishment,
Beyond the shits storms that envelope
The flannel footed dawns that hold us,
How wild swings the compass these days
Every second swings into shuffling darkness,
We sit and watch beneath the skies
Gently bowing to an omnipresent God,
Pondering existence of chain linked fences
Showering the world with our desperate cries,
Oh what a time of blistering deliverance
Coats hammered by the afternoon rain,
It's a long and winding road, energy depletes
But shared hallucinations, bring good will,
The sweetness of touch that lingers
Hearts of kindness, flowering the gloom,
Dreams still unravelling as we tread
With yearning, mind's adrift with hope;
Beyond the walls that divide and confuse
Unfettered we will kiss and hold hands.
