Freely Imprisoned
Let water run deep.
Let my river run like my feet
as far they can go
going with the flow.
Just another water drop,
another person in a mob.
Immersed in the vast expense
where I can say it is blessed.
I went up to the sky
and soared with the clouds' might.
Until I realized I am not alone;
for more than one drop moaned.
Desperate shrills claiming to be special,
it could be heard in the dark blue facial
of a monstrous creature,
thousands of drops with no measure.
Then I went down
and froze wearing a fake crown
full of pride. I'm getting cold
and white. I think I'm getting old.
But my long lived past came
to my aid and filled me with faith;
warmed me from the white peak
freed me to the brown creek.
I slid my way through
watching all those brutes
trying to latch onto worthless dirt
instead of soaring as birds.
I realize that we are simple drops
ruled by a never-ending clock.
Sliding on a wave
or just trying to rest,
In an endless cycle caging me
it almost feels like
I am FREE.
