Bind; Binding; Bound; Loosed

Iron links entwined around our hands; our feet,
Like Marley’s Shackles Hobble.
Each loop forged and hammered with strength and skill.
Created for imprisoning; wielded with weapon’s wide arc.

Aren’t we all constrained by fetters of our own making?
Manacles strangle hands and feet to keep us in line,
Trudging step by step, in lock step.
Drum beating time so we don’t fall like so many dominoes.

“No, Children!
Look up!
Let Me Break These Chains That Bind!
Freedom for Freedom’s Sake, May You All Be Loosed!”

Chains Drop! Forged Links Loosed!
Gossamer threads appear and link our hands; our hearts.
Hold each in gentleness and care.
Love released to Wonder and Soar to the Heavens.
