I am free

I raise my voice to the wide blue heavens
With a deep breath I cry
Sighs of relief and release
From the weights held taught at the corners of my mouth
I flail my arms in jubilant melody
And command my feet to rebel against the gravity beneath
I am free, I say
I am free
I am the wind's apprentice
She is teaching me her soaring secrets
My conscience level is meters above the ground
I am like a kite without string,
Like the prismatic halo surrounding the winter's moon
I offer my thunderous yet humble prayers of thanks to the Creator
I celebrate as if one struck mad
I am free, I say
I am free!
I drink down the light of the new day like wine...
