Colleen’s Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 112, “Cold & Safe,” #SynonymsOnly

Join us for Colleen’s weekly challenge. This week the prompt words are COLD AND SAFE.
I have used CHILLED AND GUARDED for the synonyms in this- my first ever-  Etheree.

FREEDOM

Step
into
another
way of living
chilled flesh is a sign
not of death but of change
where spirits once were guarded
within these crumbling chariots
precious life is finally released
to joyfully explore this Universe
