Freedom of the Sands

30 January 2011


Do not bring your weight

to bear upon me

nor dig your soul

into the fibers of who I am

If you allow me the

freedom of the sands

then I shall rise to you

and together

we shall walk

step by step

as one

  2. Great wordplay in the beginning, and the lines lead to a great resolution emphasizing the moving aspect of the walk—yet more so a journey of two people. Excellent challenge response, David.

  6. great humble invitations. the sands definately are as free as the wind. some people dig their souls into us univited....actually I have done that way too many times without being invited. This made me pause for self reflection. Hmmmm. Godd response to the prompt.
