If we are to be given such,
as to be free to think and touch.
Ought we all not show our thanks,
and not with just what's found in banks?
Freedom isn't all about
where you can go, or go without,
But how we might all help today,
think first before you do or say.
Freedom is to each his own-
to get to reap what you have sewn.
Freedom is to rule the night-
to make it yours with all your might..
Freedom isn't all about
where you can go, or go without,
But how we might all help today,
think first before you do or say.
Freedom is as freedom does.
The journey's yours and always was.
To know yourself and country too,
the best gift one can give to you...

“Everyday courage has few witnesses. But yours is no less noble because no drum beats for you and no crowds shout your name.”

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.
