My dear poise…
Though you are part of me You never belonged to me You never allowed me to hide Yet… you protected me by all means You remained the same old... Free spirit...without any fear! Speaking what is right Hearing what is correct You continued your journey Being detachedly attached! Never letting go… The mettle of freedom Never letting down The voice of frankness You have always stood by me Irrespective of situation You have always saved me In spite of limitations You hold me close to you My dear poise… You gave me conscious And breathe in the sovereignty Making me true to face this world! Making me strong to fight the wicked! (For Poets United: Verse First ~The Function of Freedom)
