      Free Spirit


      I'm a free spirit, so I'm told

      born in a body, caged for a living
      free to get shackled to some body's striving
      free to fulfill the old body's needs
      free to react to other bodies' deeds
      free to embody whatever's within reach
      free to follow what incarnate idiots preach
      
      I'm a free spirit, it's allegedly dharma
      born as a soul in body armour
      free to become what my soul suggests
      free to respond to her dreams and requests
      free to act on my own inner voice
      free to refuse alien outer choice
      free to live far from prying eyes of plastic
      free to die close to wise words of the mystic
      
      I'm a free spirit, it's true what they say
      free to lose my own spirit along the way
      yet all is not lost because spirit is free
      to pursue mares of night
      through all shades of twilight 
      — against all the odds
      — never gives up
      — never bows out
      — never swears off
      — never quits or gives in 
      until spirit finds me
