So slow did it grasp, that my brain was locked tight,
The trap springing, unfelt, unseen.
Entangled by the net of mind,
Struggle closing the binding mesh round my thought,
Then, just falling into the tomb.
No place to run, no crack could hide,
Daily life seen only as a distant blur,
Normal routine things as cage bars.
Release, a candle flame away,
Creeping slowly from the ........
.............deep shadowed cave depths,
To emerge, wary, still unsure.
The track from below, steep, unmarked,
Escape seemed flimsy, unclear, pretended strength,
Liberty only paper thin.
Then came the unexpected chance,
The air blew clear, the hidden bonds flew shattered,
Freed by the freshness of your hope.
And now perhaps grown stronger still,
Guarding against traps, confident of the road,
And aware of growing chances.
How could you know or see the need?
Or did I just take it from what’s always you?
Did you not feel the healing flow?

One day you'll publish - this one touches deeper than anything
Maybe!
This came from deep, so I suppose anyone who undestands it might find that it touches deep. I don't know if you have to have been there.
