Is it a bird flapping it's wings, soaring high in the sky?

Is it a flower unfurling it's petals at the start of a new day?

Is it a Swan swimming gracefully on the River?

Is it a child playing on the swings?

Is it any of these things?

Or is it the freedom to be able to walk in the park, til the sunsets and it becomes dark?

Seeing with your own eyes the beauty that surrounds, anything from a rosebud to ant mound.

Being able to paint a picture with acrylics or with words without fright or fear.

Being able to drink a beer, raise a glass , clink and shout cheers.

Sunbathing in a bikini on a beach, should not be considered to be out of reach.

Political debate and points of view it's OK if their different, its more interesting you see if you don't always agree with me.

Wearing lipstick and face paints thats an old tradition I'm happy to uphold, some like it subtle others very bold.

Whips and Chains, I can refrain their not necessarily for me but hey what's stopping you, if this is what sets you free.

Listen to music, it's your choice, country, pop, hip hop, rhythm, jazz or blues, there's a genre for everyone; find something that you like keep playing it on repeat, get the body swaying, dancing on your feet.

Laughter is a freedom no one should lose, so many good comedians around, find one you like and laugh, laugh, laugh, turn that frown upside down.

Travel to countries far and wide, see the sunset rise on foreign shores, dip your toes in the ocean, climb a mountain or two, visit Trevi Fountain, the hills of Peru.

Donate your time to a worthy cause

, attend a demonstration to change unworthy laws.

Dress in clothes of your choice, pierce your ears and ink your skin, don't look on it as being a sin.

Read Shakespeare, Dickens, De Maurier, Kipling, Wilde, Lear, Bukowski, Chekhov, Harris, Hanff, Dostoevsky, newspapers of your choice, let's all rejoice in the spoken word no matter how insignificant or absurd.

Write prose and poetry about what you see, share it online with the poetry community free for all to see.

Cherish your loved ones and nurture their love, watch them grow to acheive their dreams, setting them free to live as they choose, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

But most of all own your choices.

Be proud and make heard your voices.
