Being a free spirit can be a joy to behold
For age is negated, then things are sold
... The idea goodness seeps out of being
From all corners of body and mind, seeing
Not - all of the pratfalls and the drawbacks
For mind envelops you, winning you back
And then - you realize love can exist free
For free-spirited folk embrace you, totally
Then - the goodness, quite fills your soul
As you want to be part of it all, enthralled
As the wonder of love blooming, brims over
And heart feels so full, for you are in clover
- Tristram
