Whispers of Freedom

Poetic exploration of the essence of freedom—its quiet power, the pursuit of dreams, and the courage to embrace joy amidst challenges.

In the stillness of a quiet morning,

 Freedom whispers softly, without warning,

 It's the rustle of leaves in a gentle breeze,

 A symphony of choices, carried on wings of ease.

To be free is to dance in the rain,

To embrace joy, to feel no restrain,

 It's the melody of laughter echoing wide,

In hearts unburdened, where dreams reside.

Do I feel free in this vast domain?

 In the tapestry of joy and pain?

 True freedom blooms in the soul's embrace,

 In courage found, in every chase.

Independence Day, a sacred call,

 To honor those who stood tall, 

Their courage etched in history's page,

 A beacon of hope, from age to age.

Let us treasure the legacy they defend, 

Our freedoms, our rights, without end, 

And pledge to keep the flame alight,

 In the realm of freedom's flight.

Author's Note

I hope you enjoy the poem and its reflections on the beauty and depth of freedom.

Mystic...
A rare and profound sentiment these days, and thank you for that. Too much of our lives today is wondering who is watching, who is looking to be offended, by comedy, by politics, by truth itself to the point our freedom feels caged. I remember being asked to write about the horrors of war... HA! I was a Hippie, and have not even a vague notion of such, and am glad of it. On the other hand, I am afraid of my government, and am armed... If i ever rise to a place that anything I say may offend them enough to come for me, I am armed and would happily die before I surrender.
It is possible to do a literary analysis of this poem, I'd rather take the opportunity to take it at face value and respond to its call for reflection...

I love the rhythm of this poem and the message behind it. How lovely! My favourite stanza must be the third one. “True freedom blooms in the soul’s embrace” love that line

[Mystical Ink]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

This is indeed a symphony of freedom and a multi layered one at that. It flows and yet is anthemic which I feel all such writes should be. Extraordinary writing.

[Mystical Ink]

Thank you so much, my friend!

[Philip Gaber]

Mmm, every kid should say this after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. It's melodic. Prettily executed.

[Mystical Ink]

Truly flattering. Thank you so much!

Freedom is NOT free and that is expressed very finely instanza 4 of this sublime write. We owe a huge debt to those who have their lives so that we may be free to live. I love your definition of freedom in stanza 2. That is true freedom! Sometimes we take our freedom for granted. Your excellent write brings to mind Rousseau's words: "Man is born free, yet is everywhere in chains". I love the perfect rhythm and rhyme in the poem which flows effortlessly. Lovely work, dear poetess. Thank you for sharing
