LibertadWords









--Libertad--

More freedom swims in the fastest mile
Than floats in the longest year.
When minds confine bold wings and choice
I find my free will here:

On gravel roads and ocean sands
And mountain paths long lost.
Recall do I my strength and voice;
This memory’s free of cost—

Unless you count the June sweat
And the muscles screaming slow.
And the out-of-breath and
Up-the-hill that lets you know you know

just

who

you are.
