Freedom

Eliza Pelling

The storm is raging on

I can no longer find containment

For the pain inside the pavement

Of my soul

Walked all over

By this past year of changed arrangements

The ways I’d strategised to survive

No longer in my reach

But suddenly a need

To acclimatise

My tear soaked eyes

To a different kind of grief

Abruptly the fragility of life became the frequency ringing in my ears

Corruptly taking over me futility said to me ‘I know I’m one of your biggest fears’

Amidst the vertigo of to’s and fro’s and no one knows I hoped for hope to elope with peace inside the Narnia wardrobe of my mind

And I was aching to be free

Both outside and internally

And somehow

I found inner freedom and a peace residing inside recognising my struggles

Lamenting and surrendering at the Father's feet.
