Born Free

Born Free

Hearts that beat as one, ocean waves sound, the tide that brakes

Time and place, buried in the sand, crackling wind, as shadows wake

Iridescent shells of pearl, lay upon his head, within the nest, while

Sailors, seagulls call out, to their mate, it brings the tiny turtle to give way

A mother tortoise print embedded in the wet sand, protecting her birth of eggs

Born to breathe, to see, to swim the depths of the deep marveled sea

To be free, to lift our heads high, the gift of life, to feel the enchanted breeze

Born free, upon the white sands of paradise, where palm trees sway, as if they dance

Taking my very first dive, while a hang glider passes by, to break the surf, to kiss the waters naked romance

The urchin color of brilliant pink, the coral reefs of emerald green, glowing ever so, beneath

Where giant whale shapes, cloud over, the tiny sea horse shyly rides by

While I quench my thirst, I begin to flirt, with golden angel fish, and crimsonĀ clowns hanging around

As I nourish, my throat, I hunger, for hardy red crab, and copper crawfish, twisting their tails, I swallow, then sigh

Free, I whisper to the morning sunrise, I crawl back upon my birth place, I sunbathe, as I smile, as thoughts of

Where I was born, no one could ever take this away, for what I see, for what I hear, as the brilliant white caps, thunder against the ships

Let me live, let me swim, to the other side of life, where I find love, what matters most, where opportunity leads me

Forever, I shall wonder, forever, I shall know no other, as the bottom of the boat rocks, above me, like battled frightened ghosts

Born free, as I thank the stars above me,Ā forĀ beauty, for all possibilities, for family, and for pride, and strength

As long as I live, born free
