My Freedom

My Freedom is,
  Looking at the world,
  with  child-like wonder,
  compassionate loving and
  Spiritual eyes.
     My Freedom is,
  Watching dandelion seeds
  Blow by me on a                                                                                              
  warm Summer's breeze.
     My Freedom is, 
  Listening to music and 
  Dancing in front of the mirror                                                                         
  I brush my teeth
  Every morning and every night.                                                                                        
     My Freedom is,
  Looking up at the rain
  and feeling The Divine's
  Tears of Her Joys and Her Sorrows
  That soothes my darkness
  and awakens my Shine.                                                                                  
     My Freedom is...
  Closing my eyes
  and remember how 
  my lovers' passionate kiss 
  rests on my trebling lips.                                                                                
     My Freedom is..
  Laughing so hard from a joke 
  That I only know the punchline too.
  And someone else joins in and laughs 
     My Freedom is,
  Looking in my childrens' twinkling eyes
  and seeing love, light ,and laughter
  and reflecting it back to me.
    My Freedom is my heart
    My Freedom is my mind
    My Freedom is my soul.
 They can shackle my hand and feet,
 They can put me in a cage,
 they can try to dehumanize me,
 But they can only take what give to them                                                  
    My Heart  Mind  Soul is Mine
    My Freedom belongs to Me
