Freedom Is …

 

FREEDOM IS…

 

My greatest love,

My greatest dove,

Is freedom.

 

Free dominion,

Is the clarion call,

That is the kernel of truth,

That has no roof or walls,

For it calls on the winds,

Beyond time.

 

I feel…

Freedom to breathe,

Freedom to speak,

Freedom to eat,

Freedom to stay,

Freedom to go,

Freedom to say no,

Freedom to not know,

For this is the greatest of all,

For the mystery of life frees all to be their greatest,

That lives in the gap between each synapse,

That is present between the pause and the next word,

Is the space between worlds,

Is an inner space of no-thing-ness

It is hot and cold,

It is the young and old,

It is the greatest diversity that can’t be bought or sold,

It is the univers-ity of life,

Where teachers are learners,

And learners are teachers,

And I am enrolled to graduate,

With honour,

And this will only happen,

When I know,

That I do not know

No thing,

For this is a school without walls,

The subject manifests in the call,

That one can only hear,

When listening

Within.

 

I write this from a learning commons,

I am thrilled,

For freedom in my life is top billing,

For I am at choice,

I listen to the highest voice,

And find I am not wanting,

I am accepting what is,

And there is no greater peace,

Then the truth,

That sets us all free,

To simply Be,

Happy.
