Once I gave my Freedom to a storm,
Scattered my power to the four
winds forlorn.
Once I gifted my Liberty to a
single thought,
I was bound, gagged &
internally caught.
Once I attached my Values to a single ray of light,
I was blinded by its
magnificence so, so incredibly bright.
It was only once with truth
& honour I did align,
Rest, solitude & internal
strength I did find.
Be very careful where you attach
your principles & values,
Be wary of what a storm, a thought
& a light will tell you.
