    • To be set free, but locked away in my own cell of fear

    Vacant

     Mesmerized by the lights above me
    Cooped up in this cube of silence
    Engraved in this weary vessel
    Stands a silhouette of a soul I once had

    The laughter it punched out of me
    The tears it dried off my cheeks
    The balance it held within me
    The love it stamped across my lips

    The heart I pushed away
    The deepest of them all
    Was the brightest star
    That I could never wish upon again

    Cold and dark I write this spirit
    To come back to me like old times
    Seeming the chance that star stays afloat
    I'd rather glare upon it if unable to recatch it,
    than it to die and disappear forever

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
