Celebrate life; while it is free
ask the roots that support a tree
hungry for freedom; but earth-bound
they hold on, the globe moves round
who buried them, hope not you or me
branches sway, leaves fall silently
birds fly across the sky valiantly
what goes around comes around
Celebrate life;
Don’t ask- to be or not to be?
find meaning – in structure or medley
some fly; others write stories on the ground
feel the waves, before you are drowned
What will you do, if you are not free?
Celebrate life;

Love this poem Reena! A wonderful message in it! xo

Very good. Freedom can mean. So many things to different people. I would have never thought of the tree as a metaphor to express freedom. But it makes absolutely sense. Well done, Reena. 👏👏

Reena,
I really really like how you use nature as a metaphor to convey a message of celebrating life and embracing freedom. The connection between the roots of a tree and the concept of freedom is thought-provoking! ❤

Actually, the concept and my perspective of freedom got asphyxiated in the format restrictions. 😂
