I’ve always wondered

If somewhere out there,

I could be free.

If I were alone,

Where no one could find me,

Where no one could judge me,

Where I was free.

Alone in a small cottage,

The smell of pure honey

And lavender scents.

The magnificent sight

Of nothing but open, vast grasses

Under a loving blue sky.

The taste of cream cheese

And strawberry jam

On an “Everything Bagel.”

Sounds of delighted, little birds,

Singing to the calm winds.

The feeling of soft flower petals

Dancing to the songs.

A single heart

Beating to the rhythm,

Fast, slow, up, down.

And with every beat

Knowing that we’ll be safe

Stops…

I’ve always wondered

If somewhere out there,

I could be free.
