Her freedom had been taken from her All her life, her freedom had been taken from her The stillness of the forest The steady run of the stream The aroma of the red flower- Remarkable because they are free. Sensations that cannot be replicated, they have become their own peace A forest does not stir As a stream does not slow As a red flower does not hide- for any distraction Remarkable because they are free. Should memories continue to brush past her like wind striking through a hurricane, she won't chase them any longer Freedom rests its energy beside courage, she finds courage within.
