It is already a while ago that I participated in Writers Island. Writers Island has gone, Matinee Muse has come and I choose to take the prompt "To be free" and put in into:
To be free
By Marja Blom
To be free to soar the sky
To be free to sail the sea
is not as much a heaven
as the freedom to be me
To be free of the fear
that you can't bear the pain
when you reach for a rose
and its thorns cut a vein
To be free of worry
which tormends the mind
with things that didn't happen
Worry makes you partly blind
To be free of limitations
of your belief you're just a part
you're neither light nor are you dark
you can't just pull a day apart
Why don't you move in confidence
With all that is you
learn from everything that comes your way
and say merci beaucoup
Joli ca; while were in the mood for French. We enjoy many freedoms, while sometimes failing to reveal our 'true' selves.
ReplyDeleteThoroughly enjoyed that! And so much can be achieved by simply having the right attitude of mind.
