Seize

When unexpectedly
a window opens ever so slightly
so
I can
embrace the bars
real
or figments of my
imagination
fixed
and forever mutable
surrounding my soul,
my spirit lunges
forward
to see, to seize the freedom
that was always mine
and yours,
a freedom boundless
and infinite
in its joy and wisdom,
a freedom worthy of a
love supreme.
