Free at last

Let me stretch my fingers as far as they will go
lengthen their reach with my long arms
and reach with all my hungry whole
towards the red bloomed sky.
Why is it that when you ask about freedom
this is the pose I take
arms out wide and face uplifted
and feet planted in the grass
To be at last a growing thing
to never have to choose to leave.

Freedom is standing still.
