by which I mean being free
experiencing relief
the liberation from oppression
of gifts, of thoughts,
of my very way of being
by which I mean freedom
Being released into the wild
of a new time, next time
Being released from the catch
to swim again in life-giving waters
the thrill of the rushing mountain-cold stream
Release which is rooted
in the ability
to stretch out again
slacken
relax
My word is release
may I be released into your midst
to be among you
free and clear
and whole
