To be so

To be so free.
To wake to nothing but the sun on your face,
and the morning blue of the sky in your hair.

To feel every grain of sand under your feet,
and to know that each of those grains of sand
is all that you have.
--
To know that you do not know.
--
To thrive, not because your life has been given meaning,
but because you've woven one strong enough to sustain you.

To feel the night come, and simply walk into it.
--
To be so free as you, I would give up every
part of me which perceives freedom.
I would drop the pieces of my life in a pile
at my own feet, and I would not carry them. --
I would instead know what the sun feels
like over there. And over there.
And over there.
And everywhere.

Woaah! To be free.. Wanting that yet knowing deep down that one is never free... Beautiful write-up!

Thank you! I wrote this about a 'traveler' I met briefly. He was nothing but freedom and light, because nothing tied him down. I found the notion of that to be beautiful.

Sometimes I wish I was an orphan, no family ties, worries, free to do as I wish. However, what life that eh.......Enjoyed the read
