Silver light danced on waves
Under skies of
Mercurial clouds,
And she pranced
On the sand
Tail up high
Free and proud.

“Come.” She said. She pulled him up and dried his face with the edge of her best dress.
“Where?” He hiccupped, too spent for sobs. Everything hurt.
“Away.” Her voice was soft but hard. “We’ll be miles from here by the time he wakes up.”

May you light the sky
With color
Not with pain.
May you fill all hearts
With freedom
Not disdain.
May the booms resound
Within
To offer hope.
As the boons of
Independence
Widen scope.

If you have in hand a carrot
Dangle it not
Before the starved.
If you hold a drink of water
Don’t spill it in view
Of thirsty who don’t have.
Power doesn’t lie
In tormenting the helpless.
Do not dishonor justice
Whilst children beg for salve.

For all who sail
Across the sky
On stormy sea
To be near to
To be free
May you be.

Let your mind weigh anchor.
Oblige your soul to sail.
Release the mooring of your thoughts.
Set your heart free.
Let your spirit
Cruise
Adrift.

Find freedom in whatever small measures of peace you can.
It is yours for the freeing, yours for the making, your for the taking:
Freedom from stress, from strain, from hand-wringing worry;
Freedom from old tapes and older boxes;
Freedom from stale words and staler habits;
Freedom from harsh realities;
Freedom from histories repeated;
Freedom from bloated egos, punctured dreams, blame, sorrow;
Freedom from more-to-do-than-possible; unrealistic expectations;
Freedom from judgment–inside and out and in between;
Freedom from hate–it is not of you, never was.
Find freedom
In each breath. Each perfect petal of a flower, each song of bird;
In every new life born; all promise, all potential;
In everything you are, and everything you always had been,
but maybe forgot.
Find freedom in whatever small measures of peace around you.
It will grow.
For freedom expands like light in a mirror; multiplied.
You know.

As all life renewed is celebrated
in birth, rebirth, and freedom,
May your life be filled with flourish
and may color glad your heart.
May the wheels of time spin softly
taking you on sun-warmed rides,
And may you know that love, completely,
Blooms and overflows inside.
On this day. May we remember.
That freedom is not owned.
It is shared.
It is not American.
It is human.
It is not given, but a given.
It is a state of being.
It is a right.
An attitude of the heart.
A place to improve my writing skills, and that's all.
We're not thriving, we're creatively photosynthesizing under duress.
