Rumination

-source-

Surreal

Stripped of all I am

Trapped and confined

My only possession is time

Consciously, creeping away

Anticipating an impending consequence

As it bares fruition to... judgment

Blooming swift and unbiased.

Surrendering to ruminate

I deliberate

What is freedom?

The ability to exercise liberty

Exemption from external control

My mind travels beyond these walls

Without bounds

Without bonds

Desperate

Eager to escape

Away from the bland taste of this reality.

Swept by the winds beneath me

Relative lightness;

Buoyancy

As my eyes sweep to the horizon

Tasting the air

Savoring the new appreciation

Of all I took for granted

Is this how freedom feels?

What a day for a daydream.
