Sweet Freedom by jsrice00

Sweet Freedom.

Not with great thought conceived by the mind
Can we, sweeter freedom lastingly find.
Only with heart can mind's link be broken,
So that doors once closed can now swing open.

Vibrant
new life
is ecstasy
felt in Now,
in the moment,
which once dwelt
within hearts by right,
yet now, lost to our sight,
and, fairly often neglected,
mis-used and grown blighted,
is still part of permanent beauty,
attained by piercing the soul at root.

Understanding an ease with Self, starting
With goals which discover the present stark
Momentary awareness, not future or past
But Now, will reveal sweet freedom at last.
