The Bindings

A Triolet

The Bindings

Loose the bindings to your past Dear Child,
you have already suffered the pain.
Only you have yourself reviled,
loose the bindings to your past Dear Child
to feel free to be joyful and wild.
Around your heart there is wrapped a chain,
loose the bindings to your past Dear Child,
you have already suffered the pain.

[Arabella Song]

Gah, this might be my favorite of mine that you wrote :) really speaks to me and I love the sentiment. Its really moving. Started crying a little bit at the very end with the line, "loose the bindings to your past Dear Child/You have already suffered the pain.

That makes me happy to know. :) I really wrote it to me as a bit of a hymn, a reminder.

Hi. thanks for sharing. This reads like a chant to me. Kinda helps pull through tough times.

Hi Carlton. It's cool you made that connection. It's a Triolet, a devotional form by 17th century Benedictine monk, Patrick Carey.
