Freedom

Floating

Is what I imagine freedom to feel like

Like soaring in the sky,

Floating in the middle of the sea,

And just being..

Enjoying the little time I have to experience life,

The little moments of joy

Feeling all of my worry just floating and sinking

Into the unknown vastness of the ocean.

Brushing against the creatures that live under what is seen to the eye

Being able to experience the beauty of all the creatures,

See the twilight zone,

And sinking...

Slowly

Till it reaches what seems to be the bottom

With a soft thud it lands

Startling all the life around it.

The burden and worries seeping into the water

Dissolving slowly,

Slowly dissipating,

And finally no more.

The animals swim around it

Trying to understand the foreign object

An object that is no longer their.

Oh how I wish that were true,

As I am held by the ocean

The powerful waves, crashing

Almost furious, yet calming

And I float,

Just trying to let go of all my worries and sorrows,

However, one thought did not dissipate like the other

Just one thought

Which aroused fear within me.

what if the furious waves come crashing atop me

And I sink

To finally be set free.

No wonder it felt like my burden was slowly disappearing

As I slowly hit the soft rock bed

And capture the beauty around me

As I finally gain my freedom.
