A glance has been sent my way,
it's the look of a hopeful creature.
My eyes met with his,
and I saw ease within his soul.
My heartbeat was merging perfectly
with the rhythm of my breath.
All I heard was the flow of life
streaming within.
I felt content
staring into the depth of his spirit.
I've looked upon his being
from afar,
interested in his dreams;
hoping to learn his name.
We stared for some time,
so I took his hand,
and ran off with his fingers
locked in mine.
We ran towards the rising sun,
as the day was just beginning,
yet I realized there's no such thing.
I smiled as we ran
into the tall grasses,
swaying with the orchestra of the wind;
dancing for the approaching daylight.
He and I joined the celebration
and flung our arms into the air.
Squeals of laughter added to the music,
as we twirled under the ribbons of daybreak.
Finally, without a word being said,
we laid upon the damp earth
in rest.
His warm body next to mine
struck my interest.
He stood above me and gazed into my eyes
as I sat beneath him.
I asked him his name,
the first words spoken between us,
and he replied:
Freedom.
His body slowly melted into me,
as if he had entered my body,
and I engulfed his own.
I searched around
to see no one was there.
Freedom was inside of me,
and repeated those words.
My body levitated
above the mortal ground,
and I said farewell
to the cage I have escaped from.
I have been released
into the clouds above.
You can find freedom too,
just merely search within.
He hides inside of you.
