at last

[cacian]

I feel the time
has come at last
for us to lay it
as it casts
to the one that
hurts
it never lasts
and the one
that must
thy shall be done
wherever else
is mighty
plus
I feel the time
has turned and cursed
away the blues
forever burst
and now it's
here the moment
thrill
to let all be
the first
the
free
to out and bout
a feeling sheer
however mere
a meaning tier

I want to be educated.

"to let all be
the first
the
free"

I can understand why "free" is alone. Tell me why "the" is alone before "free". You just cannot do that out of whim, without implied meaning, or without literary explanation.

miyako73 thank you for reading.
Your question is interesting because when I posted this it was first draft and so I did not change the arrangement of the words.
I wrote it like this first time and then I realised the THE on its own in one line. I decided to keep it there. Aesthetically it looked less threatening to the word THREE hence free on its own again. It is liberating to liberate words from their grammatical appearances. Poetry allows me to think about meanings as well as images. I think of a word an image.
