Victory…

Proud hands in the mirror

Free, unchained

Slowly moving

Like sand in an hour glass

Projecting rays of light

Breaking glass

Freedom on the other side

Hands raising

Fighting an unbeatable force

Shielding, protecting the other

Bruised and battered

A familiar sound

Drum beating slowly

Victory

Lovely, Shirley. The sound of the drum does resonate victory. Love the pics you choose to go with your pieces.
