Mind wide open,
Spring sky settled like an endless gray ocean.

“Freedom isn’t free,” they say,
We know,
Freedom was built on the backs of our ancestors,
With the tears of our foremothers,
The blood of our brothers.
Don’t tell us how to be,
Don’t tell us what to believe,
Don’t speak,
Just listen.
Fear that what little freedom we have suffered for will be stripped away.
Think, don’t just follow suit.

Run to this ryhythm,
Everything is free form,
Everything is water, light, and air,
We never really touch the ground,
Don’t let the rest of it bring you down.
