Ultimate Freedom

Over the mountains they come
Under a blue arch they flow
Great eagle wings soar on them
Warming Chinook winds lift me

My spirit joins the current
Flying where it will take me
Over golden mustard fields
Fields green with young wheat and rye

None will with hold or stop me
I give myself permission
There is none to tell me no
My life is now unfettered

I am who I want to be
I can travel in my mind
Write words that come from my heart
Direct feelings where I will

I belong to me alone
I have the right to feel soft
Tenderness and love fills me
I have ultimate freedom

Well, Karen it's a wonderful description of ultimate freedom.
LOve the positive nature of the verses, and good for you!

This is just wonderful. A poem which celebrates your ultimate freedom, Karen. There is nothing quite like the feeling that you can think, say and be whoever you want without a scowl, a tsk-tsk, or a laugh. Great poem and your wordplay was perfect. Perfect.
