When We'Re Most Ourselves

A breeze of freedom blows 
 on our heart's hue and tone
   in how we stretch and yawn
     and lounge lazily on our lawn,
       when we know that we're alone,
         and when we're most on our own;
           not in how we behave with others,
             nor in our roles in life's theaters
               fully aware we're being watched,
                 conscious of how we might appear
                   with our wrinkles and all our warts!
