THE WIND TAUGHT ME FREEDOM
E-mail By M.A. McDuffee Bio/AddressThe wind taught me
about freedom today.
What it means and
to whom it belongs.
I watched the wind
blow across the yard today.
Over fence and razor wire,
trapped only for a moment.
I listened, then it was gone,
free to blow through trees
or a pretty girl's hair,
freedom, thought I, is fleeting,
Freedom belongs to everyone
and then to no one.
It can cost nothing,
or cost you your life.
Freedom is what we seek
but seldom ever find.
Sometimes it's leaving us
a little less behind.
