Capturing Freedom

I tried to capture this freedom To capture it within a thought For a time it seemed to hover but freedom wasn't what I got It seems my thinking lacked feeling True freedom I couldn't explain My mind it became a prison This freedom was locked in my brain By the morning I lost my mind I felt it slipping from my grasp Freedom found it's true expression When it was released from my past It seem that freedom is simple It doesn't care what others think It can't be found in a bottle It can't be poured out like a drink Once you have tasted its flavour There can be no going back Open the door just a smidgen Freedom will provide what you lack.
