Freedom

Freedom is a voice of candor
Ingenuousness and frankness
It is a voice of matador
With the red cape of caress

A painting made of vivid hues
A wind blowing round the bend
A vision of horizons view
An unobstructed road to vend

Freedom is an odors essence
Inhaled without the smell of smog
Given in an act of presence
Without the clog of mud and bog

It is a stepping-stone a gift
A turn of mind that you must find
It is a word of pure uplift
That has no skin or one of bind

Freedom is a flag of wave
A save that we forever crave

Another fine poem
That brings thought and images to mind
Just sometime
Freedom is the smell of smog
The mud and bog
Freedom is the ability to see the cape
And not charge

Enjoyed as always

Very wise words as always Sy..
Once again leaving the reader to ponder.

~Morning Hugs, Nancy~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~

Seymour, yes, how true. Freedom is a gift. Sometimes taken for granted. Thankyou for this reminder of words to-day. Hot biscuits with honey? Okie Dokie....Enchantress put the kettle back on!! hugs, Chris

Good morning Sy ... just passing through on my way to work in the gardens. Finally, Spring seems to have come to the northeast.

What a splendid poem to think about as I head outside. Freedom is indeed a gift and one we must never take for granted.

Freedom is a flag of wave
A save that we forever crave

"It is a stepping-stone a gift
A turn of mind that you must find

I too appreciate this stanza.  Life has no bearing on race, color or religion and freedom is one of the most powerful tools we could ever posess.

(sigh) I think freedom is a very essential thing ever too much taken for granted and so often misinterpreted, especially in recent times, and I believe freedom is a bird that can only fly if the battalions of brothers fly honestly behind it! (big hugggsssssss) Ths is wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.  Nothing.  And then nothing honey if it ain't free.
