Embers of Freedom

While the world’s war rages relentlessly
And guns loaded with words aim at our soul,
In my gentle heart, I will sit quietly.

As people are rushed, fractured and terrified,
Their arms grasping nothing but mere illusion,
In my unwavering truth, I will rest.

And when nothing and no one sees me,
Having cast aside my weapons and abandoned my strategies,
I will finally be free.
