Fireworks have already begun
booming, sizzling sounds
coming from the stadium
coming from the neighborhood
Freedom can be many things
the sweet taste of chocolate
the smell of hot coffee
hearing music in nature
Freedom is found in writing
in the need to have opinion
to worship or not as a choice
to be part or not in everything
Freedom is being accepted
in the world around you
to accept others in your world
to not cause harm in needing it
Fireworks will begin after dark
lighting up the sky in brilliance
reminding those who need freedom
there are still places to find it

My hope is that for all those who are searching for freedom that it is found in all the places you might not have thought it would be.

A lovely poem on freedom on so many levels, Renee. The acceptance of difference is so important in the achievement of true freedom. Violence would then have no place.

I’m sorting through a batch of old emails, so I’m late to the party Renee ~ but I love the contemporary twist you’ve added to the meaning of freedom. We can celebrate independence in so many small but significant ways, every day. Thank you for a thought~provoking post! 🙂

Thank You. I believe freedom is a very complex thing and if we really give it more thought than we do, would find how much freedom there really is in the world. 🙂
