You Could Be Free

Purity of water,

Milky turquoise of colour,

Once glaciers.

Now melt to serve,

A purpose it never dreamed it would.

Where such beauty rose from destruction,

I lap at the immense hope,

That suffering in this world would pass.

The end, an evolution to

A state of infinite tranquillity.

Luminescent reflection of emerald waters.

Glimmering, swimming about was

All the beautiful dreams,

People dreamed for this world.

They lived on.

Forgotten by us, they incubate;

Patiently synthesize.

And Dreams would,

They promised me.

One day. Come True.

An invisible shield, it was.

For a moment, I forgot,

the hatred,

the wars,

Societal pressures.

An illusion so breath-taking.

A feat only Mother Nature could conjure.

In those waters she hid them.

Those dreams.

For a magician never reveals its secrets.

It was a gift.

For those who dare escape,

The clutches of lives,

Perfectly choreographed,

By institutions and states.

Here,

Outside your window.

Nature begs,

For you to be free.

I do agree.
"Here,

In the safety of nature, we can know beauty and free-mind again. Thank you Jaye for sharing the excellent poetry.
