Where I Am Free

WHERE I AM FREE


My freedom lies beyond 
the cloud of unknowingness
beyond mists of time where
I disappear into olive groves
which furl and unfurl in slow dawns

Here there are no gates
latches or rusty keys
nobody entices with tickets
to a show and gala gifts
dark chocolate or apple orchards

Where I am free translucent dragonflies  
and red quilts are escaping memories 
rooms filled with roses and ferns
or silky scarves do not exist
promises evaporate as steam 

Desires for dancing legs
warm marrow, wet kisses or
tears, scars are packaged 
like data bits with grapevines
Angels appear only to take a peep

Where I am free I do not exist
There dwells what you seek
and what you seek is an
illusion of Light which lives then
dies in milliseconds of ecstasy 

To touch it is to orchestrate 
melodies as a harmony of
unknown instruments to
convey Creation’s glances

Not all can come
where I am free !
