My First Freedom
to worship
to dance, to meditate,
Sometimes silence to think
or a song to sing.
People and choices,
lives and spirituality can
change and evolve--
It could change and sway
grow and bloom.
But always revered is my
freedom to decide these sacred needs
for me.
to light a candle,
to burn some herbs,
to find inspiration in
the element of fire and
the scent of the earth,
this, my freedom to choose my methods,
to find my inspiration
as it comes
naturally.
According only to me.
to dare to find meaning
in the placement of the planets and stars;
to think there's higher thinking that is
inclusive;
to respect that we each
are on our own unique paths;
our own journeys around the same sun--
little planets giving light and
giving life, each
in our own way.
Everyone is
making choices everyday.
But have we asked ourselves lately
if we are making choices
to make ourselves
more free?
Or are we blinded in the clouds
That rain down
hypocrisy?
Are we doing
something
to set ourselves free?
Or are you going to tell me
That I cannot choose and practice
my spirituality?
