Do you know what freedom is?

An exiting of the 'nest of knowing', 

a burrowing beyond what is, 

soaring into life's uncharted mysteries.

Freedom is color transcending its earthy palette, 

sun penetrating shadows.

Freedom is where thought gives way, 

like dew co-mingling with light.

Freedom is the extinguishing of all concepts, 

awakening to vastness 

to a windless silent sea. 

Freedom is what we have unknowingly

always known.
