True Freedom

True Freedom

comes through a breakaway

from anything with an air

of dependency.

its a destruction

of what i'm cling to

for dear life

or the letting go

of my unhealthy attachments

and just be empty

and open handed

in my poverty of spirit.

then comes the freedom

of the heart, mind and soul

and the joy and the blessedness

that come with it.

let me soar like an eagle

to freedom's perfect peak

on the mountaintop

where the air refreshes

the soul and quenches the thirst

of a longing enslave heart

for so long.

ah, what sheer joy

to have true freedom

of the spirit

just like a tossed leaf

that falls on the river

and is carried

and brought to a peaceful

and restful bank

only to be consumed

and be part of the earth

once again, just be one

with the whole of creation

in total, true and lasting freedom!
