I am free

Here I have danced

Like the snow

Tiny bits blown by

The

Wind

Here I have wandered

Toe after heal

Heal after toe

Like a bird on a wire

Except,

Instead of flying off

I fall

Here I have sung

Story after story

My tears falling to unsympathetic hands

Raining

Painting arid desert

Like a monsoon

Here I have listened

I am here

I am here

But you don’t

Hear

Me

You can’t

Hear

Me

I’m listening like an owl watches betond

I am the snow that is

Cold

I am the bird that is

Free

I am the test that is

Ignored

I am the owl that is

Watching

I melt like a snowflake

I fly like a bird

I drown like the rain

I listen

Again and again

I am free

Here I have danced

Collecting the stars

Yet I am still scattered

Beyond

Every whisper of the universe

I am free

I am free
