Poetry Corner

She struggles within pain’s shackles Father’s voice teaching her to fight “It’s a bad, cruel world - see? I’ll prove it.” Windwhisper Speaks with the trees who murmur their witness And communes with the creatures who show her acceptance Windwhisper Loves her children so hard - yet cannot reach the one She must love the most Who hides still and small In the center of the labyrinth Windwhisper Find the way Shed the shackles of pain And raise your shield of peace Walk the corridors and unlock each door Until you find her And teach her how to be free Copyright September 30, 2000, Kathie Bird |
