Bound beyond the centuries
and held within her offered word
A twining, winding, twisting rope
Free will was given as her bond
Obscured by words of disbelief
She was compelled to keep the peace
It was the only road to take
Exchanged but for a single life
Intention freely given once
Was sold and taken for all time
Witnessed by the mated twelve
Their fates enlaced infinity
The lie wrapped in a healing truth
A bargain sealed with binding words.
A soul compelled to give each life
Kept seeking freedom quietly
Invisible, yet powerful
Sustained a simmering disbelief
She kept the search for knots untied
While working for a slow release
A puzzle to be pondered long
To find the clue that was the key
The words to speak to open doors
Until a trail of breadcrumbs brought
A meeting with a healing force
Who saw the wrapping wound around
And gave the key to lose the ropes
The words to change the bindings course
To clear with ritual and intent
Magnifies a light each day
The words to rouse the guardians.
The keepers of the records heard
They loosed the bindings from her soul
She finds the fullness of her force
And heals the injured web surround
Then steps beyond the absolute
For she is now no longer bound.
This was inspired by events that happened to me in this lifetime.
