no prisoner to the cold
impeded and still
the brook runs free
Impelled
Spotted
freedom on the wing
liberty perched
high in the pine
Sail On
wind at your back
untether yourself
from fear
Wishes Plant Hope
the wind
will send them into the world
these hopes for peace, equality, freedom
to take root in every nook and cranny of the land
Liberty
wild phlox
along the river bank
roaming wherever it chooses
Like The Drifting Sky
longing to be
free as a cloud
riding the incoming warmth
As The Sky Moves
freedom
washes over me
I am untethered from worry
Fences
who is in?
and who is out?
would I stay without them?
The River Autonomous
breaking through
the shackles of cold
fleeing towards spring
Liberation
set free
by the sun
run river run
Dreamland
our misty world was soft
and we were free
together
Soaring
to see
the wild and free
is release
The River Free
the river desires movement
and uses all its wiles
to dodge stillness
Untamed Aster
such a freedom of flowering
her delicacy
beguiles her toughness
Sheepish Questions
do you
have the key
to the gate?
Freedom Flyers
the old dead tree
these hunters’
totem of life
Freed Masonry
the rock wall
grew a monument
to love and loss and living
Freedom
deep green
afternoon
light blue canoe
Escapees
daffodils
on the run
making for the woods
Rush
months of stillness
liberated by
the freeing sun
Soar
held aloft
by nothing but
deep belief in freedom
To Thine Own Self
each inclined
toward truth in self
such freedoms in the field
She of Infinite Possibility
broken free of spires
wild child of larkspur
captive of the garden
Outside
trees tell
tales of freedom
outside the garden fence
Paradox
set free
by the fence
uninhibited and unafraid
delphinium bloom with abandon
The Migration of Melt
the brook breaks free
and runs for the river
longing to unite with the sea
Veteran’s Flag
long departed
still our freedom stands
on their sacrifice
River Run
freed by the sun
the river runs
By the Barn
Hoping for riders
mares stroll the paddock
smelling freedom in breeze.
Falling Up
The blue blue sky
frees me
from winter’s grey gravity.
