Poetry: Wild & free

We are in control

But we can't be controlled

We're paid in full

We are fulfilled

Our yesterdays

Are your tomorrows

We wear big wide brimmed hats

And we drink to our sorrows

We've labored the fields

So wildflowers come due

We eat dust in the wind

Walk the backs of our shoes

Come bow down dear ladies

And fill with delight

For the young who will follow

Will bring us requite.

    Wanting liberation
    Always just out of reach
    A desired salvation

    Released from the shackles
    Suddenly

    Oh to ride a wild mare
    across an open plain
    to feel the wind rush through my hair
    to run without restrain

    Oh to be the wind
