The Suit Case Is Empty

The suit case is empty Baggage unloaded Carried this load On this road So Long Heavy it was Carried it alone Held life in my hands The weight on my shoulders Passed many stops Yet never found the exit Faced an explosion of hurdles Until only now Found the padlock Took hand to the zip That buzzi sound A burst of life Released Out went the marriage All the in laws Out went the rope No longer tied to the floor Freedom A simple word It now fills my suitcase Now a weightless load A word that means So much, to so many For many different reasons May we all be free Free to live A life without baggage, weights and sinkers Copyright Reserved 13th November 2015 Lyn Paul
