Chasing Freedom

Nov. 20, 2020

I want to run to a place where the sun never sets,

The ocean roars peacefully,

And tall grass dances in the wind.

I want to stand on mountains that meet with the birds.

Above- a constant pool of blue,

Below- shimmers of green and gold.

I want to feel large rock with bare feet,

Reminisce with smooth carvings of rushing water,

And breathe the vast space into my lungs.

I want to hear thunder roll and lightning snap,

Punishing land with the gift of rain

That brings consequences of new life.

I want to chase all the wonders of the earth,

Looking in every corner, around every bend,

And never catch them all.
