(Last story until another time and another place)

Freedom!

She laughed out loud within the feel
of wit long since been dead
for she knew of freedom soon to be
and of a yearning soon to leave
the level of her consciousness
not yet stabilized.

She didn’t twirl or dance
as one released from jail
because time echoes down the line
the feel of minds combined
but to the side tenderly
now lie the scripted lines
of what long ago transpired.

There’s freedom in the knowing
of visitation rights
when fortified to be
not undone by feel
and freedom in the knowledge
she can love and yet still live
outside the lines
one day writ and read.

Freedom from the ties
of a knowing deep inside
leaves a woman, me,
excited to be free
for in freedom there is more
than ever thought before.

And then after the “now”
what story can be told
by a consciousness left shallow
for the sake of living free?

Your freedom is a vast experience that I hope you will share with us, dear Helen!
I am glad Richie brought this back, but I too wonder about that first line above ??

Until soon I hope. Maybe you have moved?

Let us know.
Sending you much love.

~ "Freedom" is such a liberating "F" word!

Fly free! Fly high in a cerulean sky!

Much love to you!

Thank you all so much for your kind replies.  Yes, I have moved house and am still waiting for internet access.  I anticipate a long wait but, as they say in the classics, I'll be back.  The blue pages are my salvation!  I'm so sad, however, to not be able to read to my heart's content but I've learnt the merits of patience which, by the way, is an extremely hard lesson to learn.  

Love to you all.
Helen
