Freedom begins between the ears. ~Edward Abbey
A soul that is hungry
will search beyond built walls
longing for a freedom
that some never know
it is a journey that can be
like an African safari in the dark
but like most cherished treasures
its attainment has a cost
for hunting can make some
choose to pick up a gun
and it is a lifelong lesson
to learn
freedom was yours
before you
opened the door.

Love the conclusion... so many don't see the freedom right in front of their eyes and rather go hunting for more.
ReplyDeleteA mind which holds freedom is indeed free
ReplyDeleteThanks for your stirring poem Carrie. Happy you dropped by my blog
Much💖love
I do think there is a world beyond the physical. I used to be a bit more in touch with it than I am now.
ReplyDeleteLove the closure... what indeed is freedom and is it all in the mind!
ReplyDeleteLove this!💞 I believe one can truly be free if they let go of inhibitions and feel secure from within. Beautifully executed!💞
ReplyDeletefreedom was yours
ReplyDeletebefore you
opened the door.
Freedom in its most pure elements not stained by human greed and other human failings Nirvana of sorts
