FREEDOM

 

Life leads us on with thoughts

and dreams abundant,

Then drags us back to what

this world would be,

Confined in the material and all

we know as physical;

So do we strive for that

which sets us free.

But freedom is yet also

an illusion, a fantasy of something

we perceive, yet all the time it hovers,

as a future, when Now is all that

we can ever be.

  2. true... makes sense when you think about it. Freedom does often seem like an illusion, always in the future... Not being in the now is a prison within itself really...

  3. Freedom is such a difficult word.. and just maybe it has to be in the future...

  4. In my opinion, we have to give things up for freedom....societal norms, obligations, expectations..we have to "live" outside of the box instead of just thinking outside of it.
