You are Freedom

I woke up this morning with freedom in mind.

FREEDOM

I am free to breathe in life,
I am free to see my fingers and my toes,
I am free to hear noises,
My own cry,
To see movement,
Eventually colours,
Objects,
Sensations,
Hot and cold,
Wet and dry,
Hungry and full,
Comforted or alone,
I am born free,
From where few know.

Free dominion,
Is sovereignty,
Unique as a snowflake,
We are free to choose,
In a jail,
In a job,
In a family,
Walking alone,
Our freedom chooses what we see,
What we believe,
What we need,
Or desire,
Our fire,
Our isolation,
Our desperation,
Our despair,
Our grief,
For freedom is always calling.

Beliefs are the harness or the halo,
For we are taught what to do,
What to expect,
Right from wrong,
How to dress,
Who to impress,
How to behave,
How much to save,
To conform to what is right,
When to make peace and when to fight,
What is appropriate,
To find the right opiate,
As we are taught from birth,
Without question,
And this becomes the colour of our world.

One day the feeling of freedom,
Asks why?
I want to follow my freedom echoes from the chamber of your heart,
To taste life in all its flavours, colours, contrasts,
To travel the world of ideas, thought forms, exploring my mind,
From the ridiculous to the sublime,
To travel the world of mountains, wild rivers to the sea
curious of what I find.

Beliefs say it is not safe,
Freedom says all life is good,
Beliefs argue you will be hurt,
Freedom says life is kind,
Beliefs say hold down a job,
Freedom lives life as the real job,
With no description,
With no road map,
With no direction,
For freedom lives in the moment,
A spontaneous thought,
That says why not?

For I am feeling my freedom,
As it carries me to new highs,
As life supports my dreams,
On thermals warm and free flowing,
In words without pretence,
Yet holding intent,
To be free to share,
To be free to live without fear,
Love without condition,
The freedom of happiness,
For that does not depend on any viewpoint,
It is a birth right,
It is the light in my sunshine,
Flowing as the wind on my smiling face,
For this is the grace that found me,
As infinite possibilities arise in this new dawn,
For greatness is to be my true self,
To know my self and be true,
And even if some try to take my freedom,
That would be impossible,
For I choose my thoughts,
They can’t be bought or sold,
For my heart sets my future direction,
To love all life without limitation,
To teach what I have learned,
And this is the truth that sets me free,
In a renewable morning of my re-birth
Onto a new earth,
As freedom is our true nature,
That sees what is always true.
