Weightless - Freedom

There is
a freedom
that comes
from loneliness


There is
a freedom
that comes
when you are
a face in a crowd


that comes when
no one cares
and knows
you are around
the freedom of a stranger
who belongs
nowhere


There is
a freedom
that manifests
in acceptance

the freedom
that manifests
when you are
a part of the multitude
and
apart from the multitude

that manifests when
your presence
makes a difference
to them
their presence
makes a difference
to you

the freedom
that manifests when
everyone cares
and everyone
is alone
not lonely
when everyone accepts
each other
with no condition
for no reason

the freedom
that belongs to you
like a gift
..a grace

not imposed on you
like a burden
to be carried
