Freedom

My sovereign soul

Now steps clear

of all restrictions

Everything that might constrain connection

Any sense of bowing

to dictators of repression

who claim to grant permission

and sanction all my actions —

They have no more traction,
     engender no reaction.

So I can be

the one who is needed now

I can see

the thing you are asking for

And I can give forth

from my own authority

that which you’re needing

that which belongs to me
     steadfast integrity
     homing insistently
     daily delivering

Soul-garnered freedom.
