Hope 

Restored 

Free at last

The die is cast

Time of tears fades

Love triumphed o’er hate

Justice walks sacred ground

From mountaintops, valleys vast

We held the dream, we bore the cost

Through trials steep, the shadows have passed

Hope restored, free at last, the die is cast

Written for  W3 Poetry Prompt. Sarah Whiley, Poet of the Week, challenges us to write a poem inspired by the theme—free using the Dectina Refrain form. When I think of FREE-dom, one speech comes to mind: MLK’s “I Have a Dream”. This iconic speech was delivered on August 28, 1963, during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

This poem is in tribute to FREEdom—that it’s not just a dream but the reality for every person, everywhere.
