Exploring and Cherishing Inner Freedom

Embracing Inner Freedom: A Journey Within

By Steven WealsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

In the land where dreams take flight,

Beneath the stars, in the darkest night,

There lies a place, deep within,

Where freedom's fire has always been.

Not bound by chains, nor prison walls,

But in the heart, where courage calls,

A force that soars, unburdened, free,

This inner freedom, the soul's decree.

It's not the flag that flies so high,

Nor fireworks that light the sky,

Though symbols strong, they don't compare,

To the freedom found in hearts laid bare.

In the heartland, wide and grand,

Where amber waves of grain expand,

There echoes still, the yearning cry,

For inner freedom, to touch the sky.

From coast to coast, o'er mountain range,

In every town, the winds of change,

Blow through the hearts of young and old,

A quest for truths that will unfold.

In classrooms, debates, on city streets,

Where liberty and justice meet,

A nation forged, through toil and strife,

To cherish freedom, the gift of life.

For inner freedom is the key,

To unlock doors, set minds so free,

No prejudice, no walls, no hate,

Just love and hope to guide our fate.

It's in the stories that we tell,

Of those who rose, who dared to rebel,

To break the chains, to shatter the mold,

And find in themselves, a strength untold.

From pioneers on the open range,

To civil rights in the midst of change,

In each soul's journey, a quest to find,

That inner freedom, the ties that bind.

So, let us seek, with hearts afire,

To climb higher, reach ever higher,

To find the courage, the strength, the grace,

Of inner freedom in every place.

In the land where dreams take flight,

Beneath the stars, in the darkest night,

There lies a place, deep within,

Where freedom's fire has always been.

Unleash the spirit, let it soar,

In every heart, forevermore,

For in that freedom, we are one,

A brighter future, our work is done.
