I Am Free

I am free like the graceful hawk
Bobbing and swaying effortlessly in the sky
I am relaxed like a mountain
Firmly rooted and embracing the spreading earth
I’m happy like a playful child 
Jumping carefree on big rocks beside the river 
I’m blissful in my fountain heart
Joy endlessly bubbling up from that natural spring

The hawk has perfect awareness 
For destroying it’s well hidden and tricky prey
The mountain is the solid ground
 Unaffected by fleeting forms that come and go
The child is the intrinsic joy
That arises recognizing inherent truth 
The heart is the source of being
Primordially faultless and unchanged by life
