Sonnet.2. A Prisoner's Reverie

Breaking open the tightly barred prison gates Shattering the close fitted iron shackles His mind flew into freedom's alpine heights To his beloved home where love nestles What thrill to be united with his folks They would dance in delight to see him back How the day would be spent in lively talks His children, would dash down to kiss his cheek From his beloved's eye, tears would roll down Saline drops of joy, so hard to control The house then in great merriment would drown Love's sweet embrace would soothe his famished soul Alas! He knew it was just a reverie Yet it suffused him with new energy!
