Free (Long Meadow Lake)

FREE

oh to feel free with you alone

drifting down the endless river

let’s not worry about the world

anymore let the currents decide

our future destination together

take my hand tightly into yours

don’t ever let me wander away

kiss me in the warm spring rain

dance under the harvest moon

let’s go where you and I can be

FREE

*ELEUTHEROMANIA

*(n.) an intense and irresistible desire for freedom

how can I make you feel this ancient emotion touching

the very soul of my humanity like the last breath of my own existence

all the peace in the universe crashing down on me

suddenly nothing earth bound can spread its poison to my soul

i drive into the night with windows wide open

the warm summer night’s wind greedily touches my skin

kisses my nose, cheeks and lips then plays with my hair

flooded with sensations of youth and immortality

i pass the exit clinging to and prolonging this feeling of

endless possibilities

endless freedom

endless youth

endless time

but I’m grounded in an even greater love than the life given me

by the life I created the life that continues when I’m gone
