Home Is Freedom

Ngozichi, Miami, 2013

 Home

 is Freedom

Liberty

in full expression

of self

not being modeled

by your expectations

or rules of past civilizations

Home

is freedom

unpretentious

unbridled

authentic

Where my spirit is free

to live in full

not bound 

or bond

to cater to your rules

nor caged

or gagged

not allied 

with the herd

but stands independent.

That is my home

no land is strange

when home 

is in your heart.
