Crossfires
I walked among the rosebuds of today
I gazed in wonderment at what God has made
Tempted to pluck and share with others
But my internal butterflies shuttered
I ran across the field as the buds kissed my skin
I was finally free of the prison I was in
The fresh air filling my once empty lung
My mind reciting my songs that had gone unsung
The sun embraces my being
I embrace myself for seeing
The truth in me that I tried so hard to hide
I am free now, free to fly
Chasing angels or fleeing demons, both one in the same
We are simply human beings caught in the cross fires of a game
