Freedom of the Heart

Trudging along the highway of life
Locked up in the coffin of routines
The remains of the human spirit
To be cast in the fires of mediocrity

Free as a feather in the breeze
Soaring like a shooting star
No fetters to hold it down
Childhood saw the best days

Effervescence and ebullience kept it alive
All through the journey of youth
But weary and tired from the struggle
To stay ahead in the rat race

The career trip marked the journey
chained by expectation,
Bruised by the shattered dreams
In the journey to success or pursuit of a mirage?

The yearning to break away, the desire to be free,
Lies in a heap, in a forgotten corner of the heart
Waiting for a day, when redemption of the soul
And freedom of the heart is finally true
