A Free Spirit

How can I explain to you, you a poor mortal, what a free spirit is? Consider I have no bounds, I go just where I fancy. I relish moments of madness without ill effects. Can you see me waltzing with a fiery tailed comet that orbits around far off Arcturus, in the Herdsmen constellation? Imbibing its bright soft orange light, enjoying its hard-to-observe buried corona? Can you imagine me swim amongst the spiral and elliptical galaxies? Bask in their dense luminosity, irrespective of their fluctuating temperatures? I've kissed so many moons, and frolicked with Venus, watched in awe a cataclysmic nuclear explosion, as some old dwarf star goes nova. I've seen all this and more, but rest assured, o miserable mortal, that I yearn to be substantial like you. For you can do so much..... but not I, no I can never love or be loved like you.

WoW! Victor, What a well-written, in-depth write. Nice take on a free spirit as well. Being” free of love “ would be miserable. Excellent job. I enjoyed the read, my friend:-) Alexis

An interesting write, being a free spirit would be an exciting existence but as you say there is a downside. Tom
