Freedom

Freedom courses
A beautiful stream
Through blood and soul
An endless dream

Freedom rains
Living fire from the sky
Thunder shakes the ground
Feelings never die

Freedom rings
A deep, entrancing song
Pulling us closer
Pulling us along

Freedom lives
Within the souls of all
Giving a breath of liberty
The days we answer the call

Freedom is
The power inside
Driving all
To go on in pride

This was inspired by my horse ride tonight- if you look on the "about me" page, you'll find that I'm a rider and that I LOVE it. I don't own a horse, but I lease one named Missy. Well, I rode Missy tonight and it went great, so I figured I write about what I feel when I'm riding on her: freedom. That's kind of obvious, depending on the poem, but it's true. The only word I can use to describe how I feel on that horse's back is free.
