Free Spirit

Its heart is singing

Dancing with every beat

The world is cluttered with footsteps

From the spirit’s feet.

Its eyes are happy and shining

And filled with visions of

Beaches, flowers, and and suns

And at night, the heavens above.

Its feet dance on the ground

Its hands wave back and forth

It’s drinking in the world’s wonders

Love, friends, family and birth.

Tears of happiness

Come to its eyes

When it knows that it roams the earth

Free to go and free to rise.

But can we all be truly free when someone else not?
No, because all hurt inside for

That trapped spirit in the cave

We are haunted by its screams and its howls forevermore.

That’s why we have to free them,

One spirit at a time

For if we don’t, we’ll be confined

Our story will never quite rhyme.
