Me Liberate Me
CS Sherin 01/24/2012
i free the birds
locked there
in cages
they stretch and rub their beaks
and sing to me…
i let the doors fly open as they
ricochet out -
joyous bolts of energy free,
and knowing what to do with it.
i walk slowly with my old dog,
she is pulling me along.
birds call out to me
like kind little fairy voices,
like sentinels from far off friends -
to my ears.
they say they will free me now.
they fling open the cage door and
i cry to see the way is clear -
my steps spring lighter, my back stands taller
my crown beams higher towards the far off sunlight -
dreams awaken….
the dog pulls harder to go
further,
i let her go off the leash…
she walks beside me,
hastening homeward
her legs freeze jumping up the steps,
i carry her in,
she sings inside: warmth, treats, love, home, mine.
you walk up to me with such a weight upon you.
i hand you the keys from your pocket.
you unlock the weight.
you are free.
you float away into your work,
nourishing sweet soul babies
midwived with each liberation
of breath
heart, mind and dreams….
i, they, them, you, us, me, we…. all one. One.
Unity.
me
liberate
me
liberate
see
me liberate me
free
