The Ivory Tower

Alone,

I sit in my ivory tower,

with wandering thoughts,

I have no power.

Aimless direction,

I hope like silver.

Yet,

fear and doubt impede my mind,

like a sliver.

Then an arrow of light shot into my heart and I realized a new life for myself I must start.

A life that is full of wonder and amusement so,

I set aside my desolate confusion.

Unbound the chains that locked my soul tight and grew the wings of freedom so,

that I may take flight.

-Poet Craig
