Freedom

Freedom Does it exist? Is there anything in this vicious world that is truly free? Birds defy gravity, But are bound by their own limitations. Called to the Earth, At the end of a majestic odyssey like no other. Perhaps smoke is as free as can be, Floating aimlessly through oblivion. Fettered by nothing. Except the wind, Carrying it whichever way it wishes… If smoke is free, Then freedom can only be achieved through fire. Through the destruction of Earthly ties. Through the end of one to bring another. Ouroboros. As ashes reduce to nothingness. Ashes that choke. Ashes that plague. Ashes that end. The Sun may be the freest Of all. Illuminating the Darkness. Breathing life, Yet bound by the chains that, Imprison Creation. Mortality. Death.

Tafadzwa, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
