The Free Thought –

The birds soar above me.
I hear birds chirping, –
a stanza that touches my heart,
a thought with wingspan.

I fly in my thoughts.
The air is unobstructed.
A stanza of love embraces my mind.
Suddenly, the birds chirping, the birds’ song,
the bird’s mercy, love for man,
became my free thought.

I write, I read, –
Suddenly, a reflection of floating thoughts,
no obstacle, only myself,
My thought, a free thought.

The thought of dogma limits my thought game,
limits your mind.
Religions cage the bird.
Release it free,
Release love into the free space where it can breathe,
where it can find peace in creation.

The power of dogma destroys the freedom of thought.
I will not believe anything.
I will think, reflect, write, and read my own words.
I will shape my own mind.
The Free Thought.
