Encounter with Freedom
Like an enormous wave
that lies down over my heart.
Like the stunning beauty
of the wind over the pines.
Like an immense, vital heartbeat.
Like the moon and the river
trapped by love.
Like all the dreams
in the space of the eyes.
Like a fistful of infinite light.
That is the way I love freedom!
