Conformity
Is imprinted
At society's behest
Encircled in
Its shadow from
The time she left the nest.
Thin pressed lips,
Hard-knit brow,
Caution over care.
Elfin features,
Cool regard,
Penetrating stare.
Shadowed soul,
Emotion dampened,
With defensive walls;
Fearful armour
And illusion
Catch her when she falls.
Wakeful watching,
Always hiding -
False security:
Disappear while
In repose
Peace - serenity.
Muscles loose,
Face composed,
Tensions are released.
Angel features
Radiant -
The dark side of the beast.
Pure heart and mind,
Unfettered stand,
Infinitely wild.
Perfect Love and
Perfect Trust -
Innocence of child.
Wake up! Wake up!
That child cries,
Restriction is unknown!
Life itself
Binds dark and light
And in the seeds it's sown
Demons from the
Dreaming land
Fall under control.
Spirit quickens,
Passion soars
Within its very soul.
Peace eternal -
Sanctuary
From the constant pain
Of the dream
That she creates
When she sleeps again.
