Looking through the Bars
Of the prison of life
Wanderings aimed
At aimless destinations
Watching the eagle glide
In the endless Blue
A stray breeze beckons
To feel its touch
Compelled to escape
Unto the great unknown
I stand at the edge
While the Wind in my face
Screams “FREEDOM"

Good write!
"Freedom(s) do not come without a price paid. He paid his, my turn now." Something I overheard one day in Washington, DC, I always figured was a mother of a veteran.
Freedom from many things we desire, especially that which holds us back from within. Freedom to be, to become, to surge forward. Once we can unlock that within ourselves, we can then really enjoy what has been given us ... life.
Nice write. 8=)

Ahh Freedom.. would we know what to do with it if we had it ? Or do we have it and not really know how to use it? Or does freedom mean not needing to run but to feel ok with what is ? And who created those bars? Freedom.. all in the mind ?
Oh! that woman spoke a truth of our present reality, the reality of invisible lines, boundaries, intended and unintended insults and of the us vs.them we like to hold on to...
I would like to find the kind of freedom where, I am home no matter where in the world I am. It requires me to be more of ME.. I have a long way to go.
Thank you Bill. :)
Not so far methinks.. I like to think if we can see it.. we are closer than if we could not see it at all..

What was that Janis Joplin said..."Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose." I think maybe some of us have to have nothing left to lose before we realize we can fly into whatever freedom we want. Ok, yea I said too much! Lol! I can taste it, though... Thank you!
the end reminded me of Braveheart...ole' Willie Wallace liked his freedom too
I love this wind... screaming 'FREEDOM'... what a powerful end!

wow, great look at the feeling of freedom that the wind so often represents to us all.

Certainly lends more meaning to the phrase "free as the wind". ;) Life can feel like prison bars at times, I think, when we do not flex our wings and follow our dreams. Corny as that might sound.
I take it you don't fear the unknown LOL? Great poem!

I do fear the unknown, but sometimes I am forced to confront that fear and go with what is. And for the most part, there are more unknowns than knowns in my life, I am getting used to it ;).
Let the wind blow you away?

I can't say much more than the comments you have already received... I'll just echo how well written it is and how I can feel the emotions. Thank you :)
I came because of your comment on my CC. TY-btw. I enjoyed your write, Freedom means so many different things to so many different people. That is why I think that you have put together such a great write. It has many different meanings to so many different people.
Great work.
