Tough, self imposed chains,
so hard to remove,
drives focus insane,
no room to improve.
Captures bravery,
hopes can not move far,
unseen slavery,
inherited scar.
Fear is the leader,
crawls up a strong spine,
creates a steel cage,
cement draws the line.
Sprouts of intentions,
tickles a free mind,
lingered reflections,
helps fright fall behind.
Keys turn, as hearts dance,
eliminate links,
provide a new chance,
unaided to think.
Embrace inner light,
allow it to guide,
point of views shine bright,
share thoughts kept inside.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy

Thank you Grace for the powerful images of releasing those bonds that are unseen. Love the way you transition from the “hold” of those shackles to the inner light that is set freer…where those “inner chains…turn to keys”…spectacular imagery…!
Thank you so much, Suzette. Thrilled to know you enjoyed it my friend. Truly appreciated.💕🙏💕
Always a pleasure Grace!

This is quite a rhapsody, Grace, showing a panoplic (I might have made up that word) process toward self-freedom. Inspiring!
