They can put you behind bars.
They can chain you to the walls.
They can cage you for years.
The one thing they can NOT do is take away your dream. The other thing they can NOT do is blur your vision. Even a little bit. So don't look at the frame. Look beyond.
Let your fingers make their way through the cold, steely fence and tingle when the wind from the other side gently tickles their tips.
Let your face press hard on the fence, kiss a vagabond leaf coming a-wandering by with the wind and yearn for more.
Let your senses close in on you, little by little.
And let them open fully to the silent whispers of your heart.
Take a deep breath in. And let go.
Hush now, don't go rushing or searching anywhere else.
Freedom is right here, right now. So stay where you are.
Don't look at the frame. Look Beyond.
