Neda :

For one brief moment
the veil was lifted
and, no more cudgels
were blocking your sight;
no more, chanting,
shatter the night.

Falling, from the shoulders,
you were surely
rising; reaching,

unseen,
by Our eyes.

"Be not afraid,"
spoke a familiar voice:
Older,
Wiser,
Courage...

....Swift in flight,
forever, now.

Look!
One,
white dove,
Reborn,
to a song


of


Freedom.

Erin~ I just tried to stand in her shoes for a bit. The struggle of life in Iran has been very much on my mind & heart.
