Free

When Edgar Alan Poe wrote
His famous last note
The last stanza of poem “Raven”
His character of hope having no beacon

I don’t think even he realized
In how much pain his character was
It is a story I understand
But I kind of wish I did not understand

More than that
One man says we are free 
We only pretend we are not free
The other says we are not free

Only pretend that we are
And those words on my soul put a scar
Because I came to conclusion that to be free
I need to be much more than I can be

What is greater than time is?
It is infinity
But concept of time is
Greater than infinity

So there must be
Further infinity
Further continuity
And even if I achieve it I will not be free

The true bliss
Can only come from Abyss
And if there is something that to abyss
Like time to infinity is

There is a second abyss
And true bliss
It is the pinnacle of philosophy
And that is the only way we can be philosophically free 

Not just beyond destiny
But in our essence free
Another words only way we can be
Truly free
