Freedom

Freedom is a hummingbird,

Fleeting, fast and fragile with

Bright wings that sing in rhythmic dreams

The perfect jewel of joyful faith,

Seeking out the beautiful, the

Flowing flowers of the field,

To drink the nectar of her bloom and

All her gifts disseminate.

 

Freedom is a golden eagle

Sailing on a wafting zephyr,

Unencumbered by the straining

Baleful bonds of gravity.

Confident that none may rise to

Purloin his emancipation.

Soaring over mountains high

He sets his own alternatives.

 

Freedom is a mountaintop

Rising where no roads may tread,

Wearing robes of purest white while

Bleeding rivers rife with hope.

Tendrils flush with provender

Reaching meadows near and far

To nurture countless leas of flowers

And feed sweet freedoms hummingbird.
