Freedom

Bewildered I walked a long Through the winding way Of this labyrinth of deep forest. I had a mind that here everything Was with me and my jubilant mood. The leafy sky, and the shady lane Along the green trees and shrubs Never let me know, how Beautiful the Sun and the Sunny Days were there outside this light-shade-world of flora and fauna. Amazed I wrote the stories Of love, betrayal, of joy and grief, Feeling that was the emotion Of all mankind. Once, I happened to get out Of this forest-island. The vista of the open sky, And the surfing waves of sea were waiting for me. That day, I learned a new word, Freedom. I broke one curtain, to watch The other more free. More I know there are Beyond this island and sea.
