On Liberty

On Liberty

It is to see outside the box.
The bigger picture.
The blue sky.
Free from convention; full of ideas.

It is dense cumulus cloud cover.
Layers of precipitation.
And then a ray of light.
Free from thick skies; an opening.

It is walking through mist.
Bent down by prevailing winds.
And then a rewarding view.
Free from fog; an end to the means.

It is longing for leisure.
Downtime, chill time.
And then a desire to work.
Free from endless philosophical questions.

It is heart-wrenching love.
Then long stretches alone.
And then happy love again.
Free from past loves; a focus on the future.

It is childhood.
Then adulthood.
And then a glorious march into old age.
Free from early stage angst; wise and content.
