To be free

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

  1. Joli ca; while were in the mood for French. We enjoy many freedoms, while sometimes failing to reveal our 'true' selves.
