Freedom
Reach out, as far as my arms will let me.
There is nothing here. Just me.
Here I find serenity.
The wind wisps through my hair. Between my fingers.
It blows against my face,
So fast, so hard,
Almost brings a tear to my eye.
Almost.
Life was easy then,
So innocent and new. I didn’t have a care in the world;
No reservations, no worries.
Most importantly, no fear.
Finally. Those days are over,
And once again, I find myself back in this place.
The place I’ve been too many times before.
At a young age was when I first took flight.
Yet I still soar.
All my life. As far back as I remember,
I’ve been flying.
A constant search for something true.
Something real.
One more time curiously brought me down.
Down hard.
I have been shot down, captured caged and tortured,
Only for the amusement of another.
Yet somehow, I am able to find my way back to freedom.
All I take is what I need.
My heart, my soul, my knowledge, my pride.
As I travel where the wind takes me.
I have licked my wounds.
I am strong now,
Stronger than ever before.
I am wise now,
Wiser than ever before.
In this constant battle within myself,
Searching for a flicker of light in the vast darkness,
An angel amongst the demons.
I finally land.
I’ve landed to feel the earth between my toes,
To tuck these wings away,
And to once and for all be free.
There is nothing here. Just me.
Here I find serenity.
The wind wisps through my hair. Between my fingers.
It blows against my face,
So fast, so hard,
Almost brings a tear to my eye.
Almost.
Life was easy then,
So innocent and new. I didn’t have a care in the world;
No reservations, no worries.
Most importantly, no fear.
