Breaking open the tightly barred prison gates <br />Shattering the close fitted iron shackles <br />His mind flew into freedom's alpine heights <br />To his beloved home where love nestles <br />What thrill to be united with his folks <br />They would dance in delight to see him back <br /> How the day would be spent in lively talks <br /> His children, would dash down to kiss his cheek <br /> From his beloved's eye, tears would roll down <br /> Saline drops of joy, so hard to control <br /> The house then in great merriment would drown <br /> Love's sweet embrace would soothe his famished soul <br /> <br /> Alas! He knew it was just a reverie <br /> Yet it suffused him with new energy!<br /><br />Valsa George<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-2-a-prisoner-s-reverie/
