Oh, to be Free!

Freedom from the heavy, clumsy body that chains us to one place when the soul wants to fly. I wrote this when I was twelve but the sentiment lingers on into old age!!!


Poem Artwork

Oh, to be as free as air

On a great sea-shore.

Dance upon the waves and share

Their fragrance evermore.

Drift above the changing tides

Like a seagull in the sky.

Live amongst the coral caves

Never, never die.

Free, oh, ever free!

That's how I wish to be.
