Wild & Free Poem by Franklin M Kline

Love, a mystery so deep,
A secret none can keep,
A puzzle few can complete,
A patch of sinking sand on a slab of concrete
It's essence so pure, its flame so bright,
Yet bound by chains of day and night.

Free will, a gift that is so rare,
The key to love's sweet affair
For without free choice, love is but a word,
It is but a hollow echo, left unheard.

Imagine a world where love's not free,
Where hearts are matched just like seeds.
Where every glance and each tender touch,
Is scripted, programmed, much too much.

In such a realm, love's flame would surely dim,
A loveless dance, a somber hymn.
For love without free will is surely naught,
A fragile bloom, a simple lesson not easily taught.

For love thrives on choices, some big, some small,
To freely give, or to keep it all.
To choose the one who sets your soul on fire,
Or to nurture Love with all of your desire.

Free will allows us to be strong and brave,
To love beyond the chains we crave.
To risk our hearts and to let them fall,
Knowing that love won't catch them all.

Love's journey is a winding road,
With twists and turns, and a heavy load.
But with free will, we are able to navigate,
Through storms and calm as we embrace our sweet or bitter fate.

For love's true power lies deep within,
To choose to love and let love in.
We open up our hearts and our minds so wide,
As we dance with love and we let our hearts be our guide.

So let us celebrate our own free will,
And the essence of love's sacred thrills.
For without free choice, love would not be,
But a mere illusion, fleeting and empty.

But with free will, love takes on flight,
A soaring eagle in the moonlit night.
It transcends all boundaries, chains and bars,
And it binds two souls beneath the stars.

So cherish love, and hold it dear,
For it is a gift, both pure and clear.
And let free will guide your hearts decree,
To love with passion

So Wild & Free.
