Always be free to do as you will.
From the dead of the night to the new mornings chill.
Where edges are blurry, there is no black or white.
When freedom is present it’s always all right.
Freedom is something not clearly defined.
It can be tactile or merely a state of our mind.
It's elusive, inclusive, and easy to see.
Always given or taken, it's priceless or free
I've had it and lost it many times in my day.
Never take it for granted, or give it away.
Love it or hate it or pay it no heed.
We can never ignore it; it’s something we need.
This freedom I speak of with mystery and awe.
It’s a food for our spirit from which we can draw.
If nourished and cherished, and freely passed on.
We can all co-exist and be happy and strong.
So cut off the tethers that hold back your mind.
If you do it, I'm sure you will certainly find.
The meaning of freedom will soon become clear.
It's a meaning with feelings you will always hold dear.~Jay Olson
