We Are Free!

Poetic Piece

Pseudonym: SouLve B.A.

The sun touches our faces
like fresh waves
washing upon an island’s shore…

We take it all in
as our Souls sit
and rest awhile…

Slowly digesting
the warmth of the sun…

Our bodies lie still…
remaining calm
as the rays caress
our Souls within…

We are Free…

Free from stress
and the world’s impurities…

Free from the judgments
others speak…

Free from the grime
and grit of the streets…

We are Free…

“Peace, be still…”
echoes loudly
as our minds slow their motors…

Slow, deep breaths
fill our lungs
over and over…

Our hair rests
in its natural state
as we lie bare…

Naked
as we were born to be…

We are Free…

Free from aggravation
and unrelenting chaos…

Free from empty wisdom…

Free from the lack
of intelligence…

Free from the anxiety
we were taught to carry…

We are Free…

We kiss the clouds
with our eyes…

Caressing them gently
with our gaze…

We become one
with the water…

As though it were
our Soulmate…

We cover ourselves
with the sand
as our blanket…

We lie still…

Because motion
loses focus…

And our focus
is the key…

We are Free…

We are free to think thoughts
others may one day repeat…

Free to cuddle
with the moon and stars
as we drift off to sleep…

Free to converse
with the voices of animals
echoing from the trees…

Free to indulge
in everything Nature
freely offers…

We are Free…

We hold truth
within the words we speak…

We hold innocence
within our voices…

We hold love
deep within
the depths of our Souls…

We hold tightly
to the need
to refuel ourselves…

We rest…

We are calm…

We are tamed
for the moment…

Within this place…

Within this hour…

We hold tightly
to the intention
of relaxation…

Nothing races
through our minds…

No pain enters
our Hearts…

The hurt releases
our Souls…

And our Souls
are no longer numb…

We are humbled
within ourselves…

Selflessly giving
all our troubles
to the ocean’s floor…

We breathe deeply…

Slowly…

With the confidence
of joy…

We smile from within…

Knowing
we will heal once more…

We guide ourselves
toward the proper shore…

Resting there
as we no longer
keep score…

We reset the counter…

Because we refuse
to count anymore…

We are Free…

We are Free…

We…

Are…

Free…

With every breath,
we are reassured…

The hectic world
will control us
no more!
