Liberation
Liberation — arrives for now,
with strong arms to lift off those heavy clouds,
those dark clouds of miserable greys.
Just for now I am revitalised,
I am okay,
just for today.
Liberation — is that the right word?
What do you say
when dishonest ghouls
can keep closed –
all of your doors
Loved for now,
as I tread these wooden boards.
The days feel easier, somehow.
Liberation, if only for now.
James Garratt – April 2025
