Freedom

Free as the eagle that soars,
As the wind in the meadows,
As the fish in the waters,
Free; free from it all.

Being there, in that moment,
In that time,
Forever present, forever aglow,
Blessed in a vale of green,
Free to be who you choose to be,
Free to do what you believe.
Free to be There.

To take upon the raging storm,
The roaring gale, the raptured shores,
The raving winds, the falling earth,
The fires that bur n,
Free to learn from the scars of life,
To hallow the vessel, that bears love,
To be so true, to be so pure,
Ideal forever, in the place you’ve sought.

To sail to the worlds afar,
To conquer the earth in your stride,
To rise into the air,
To float and move, as the wind moves you.

To be strong, to rise from the ashes,
To be still and Attend.
Every moment of your life,
Which is every moment of death,
As you die away into the flames of life,
Casting away the burden upon thyself,
The burdens of the past, of your identity,
Die away, to rise again.

Free most of all, from the cruelty,
Our creation, in our greed,
In our confusion, in our materialism,
In our thoughts of: more, more more,
Forgetting that all we have is this moment,
Forgetting the beauty of simplicity, of less,
To respect true learning,
And most of all, self-reliant,
To forge a new life,
Such a life, to remember the permanence,
Of true love, true friendship, of true companionship.
