The Mind Is the Freest Thing

the mind 
              flees 
         any prison 
          that traps 
           the body,
             for it is
         f    r    e    e...
          no tether 
         can keep it 
          tied down.
     it can never be 
          fenced in 
           or caged 
    within four walls.
      it has feathers 
that can't be plucked
    it's free to roam 
            to soar 
   with sturdy wings 
that can't be clipped;
           freer than 
 any bird that can fly!
      it goes places 
     they can't follow.
            it's so free... 
            like wind
             blowing
      every which way
