Freedom Collaboration With Poet Joseph May

Across layers of magenta mountain side
I can see open space to walk and explore
With no restraints, not a single reason to hide
I watch as wildlife run and fly, freely evermore 

I hear the sigh of the gentle breeze
As wildflowers sway in its caress
Dulcet birdsongs echo through the trees
With a melody only they possess

The feelings of freedom rise within me
With each fluent note of the bird’s song
I fly with my dreams as far as I can see
Wildflowers touching and clapping along

As Magenta mountains blend in with the sky
I can almost see eternity
As I watch the dance of a butterfly
Nature’s beauty set’s me free

I am free on the wings of butterflies
As light illuminates my life today
I am free in the sapphire skies
Magically I flutter and fly safely away

Heidi Sands and Joseph May
