You have freedom in you
*
You drank it last night
In the form of a glass of water
And as you ate the food
Which had emerged from the ground
*
And you know
The way you laugh
Releasing all those beautiful funnies
Into the ether
*
That thought that you had
Connecting words
Creating ideas
Envisioning your dream life
*
Oh and the moment you woke up
And decided who you wanted to be
Or making the choice be you, exactly as you are
To love you
*
That’s freedom
*
Remember that step you took
Forwards, sideways
Even backwards
Or the way you ran across the field
*
And how about the dancing
The ultimate expression
Of the shooting star inside
In the form of movement
*
Indeed, that too is freedom
*
Ah and that beautiful breath you took
Filling up your lungs to full capacity
And releasing it slowly
As if time was an illusion
*
How you closed your eyes
Gracefully shutting out vision
To see nothing
But feel everything
*
There it is – the freedom in you
*
How you held hands
And kissed ferociously under the night sky
Creating a bond that would last forever
During this life, and the next
*
The high five
The cheeky wink
Living life like an actress
Enjoying playing the roles of each moment
*
Freedom comes in different packages
And that’s the whole point
For we are already free
We shackle ourselves
Imprison our own spirits
*
Identity
Ego
Trauma
*
So real, yet completely illusory
Juxtaposed against freedom,
Aren’t these things simply frivolous?
Gods biggest joke
To remind you,
Every single second
Every single moment
That you have freedom in you
