FREE – A Poem

Words: Michael Callanan
Artwork: Michael Callanan
I stood so long to gaze at stars
A spider strung its web to me
Yet not afraid
I just felt free
The spider whispered:
‘I agree’

 

I stood so long to admire the ocean 
A ghost crab camped beneath my feet
A freak wave struck
I just felt free
The ghost crab bubbled:
‘I agree’

 

I stood so long to praise the forest 
A tiny vine started climbing me
I let it climb
I just felt free

 

But vines can’t talk 

 

It strangled me
