Is a free mind
really free to wander?
Does freedom to wander
need the mind to be free?
For how long
does a free mind continue?
Does it stagnate
when life takes a different turn?
Free mind doesn’t dwell
on sunshine alone
It swims in dark waters
It transcends reality
and takes a plunge at oddities
It gathers up courage
to break away from
the talons of suffocation
It takes the souls
under its wings
and sets them free
It decides to perish
rather than exist in a rut
