Nothing is Free,
except

the gentle breeze whispering
in yonder canyon’s trees,
the soft salty kiss of love
that floats upon an ocean breeze,
a warbler’s fine tune in yonder dale,
green swaying grasses waving at me
from within a misty morning veil,
the spirit of the chickadee,
the song of the sparrow,
the baby blue sky I see,
a walk in the woods
on a cool night,
a lover’s embrace shared
'neath bending willow tree.

Nothing is free,
except

the accidental touch of two lovers knees
as they sit arm-in-arm entwined,
like branches under closely planted trees,
in the full bloom of a June moon.

No, nothing is free
except

what money cannot buy.


But what price would I pay,
if I had to today?

I cannot honestly say,
since all I want
seems to be
free.

smiling at you, Kacy.

A lesson we "humans" still need to learn.

This is beautiful.
