Got To Be Free

I have searched for god,

and he has searched for me.

I`ve been searching,

searching to be free.

Like a bird, on a wire,

like a log, on a fire.

smoke rising like me,

just trying to be free.

And satan,

riding my back.

tossing me to and fro,

looking for a place  

my soul can go .

But can`t you see,

I`m like the smoke

rising from the fire,

I just got to be free...

so goes the puff of smoke, rising higher, until it falls as rain to feed life again... that is how freedom goes, in circles -- aint it life? we demand to be as one with that circle, even as we are standing still.. drunk with the desire to live . freely...

this is perfect to be the beginnings of a song's lyrics... expound on the examples of how freedom feels is seen, heard, or just hitch hike down a highway with your dock martins named escape... lots of great possibilities for a #1 hit. kudos and great write.

thank you for the kind words

Im really not surprised you repeated the 'smoke rising' metaphor here Ron - it really struck me as being very inventive and imaginative so the second encounter was like an extra helping - which is always my weak spot. Well written and heartfelt poem/song here WM.
