and the wind spoke
… silently
so still
… that it roared
“don’t run to where you are celebrated
nor run from where you are only tolerated
stay where you are
be free to be free
be who you are
regardless of the cost”
freedom cannot be given
nor can freedom be taken
freedom cannot be bought
nor can it be sold
freedom is not a thing
freedom is simply free
and it is for freedom
that freedom is free
freedom can only appear
from within
and it is at home wherever it is
and it is within
it is not without
it is within
… you
wherever you are
so where are you?
