Freedom

By Natalie Hasert, 12

Moving through the ripples,

the boat treading upon the water,

floating as if it were a cloud.

The green hue gave the water life.

The hair upon my head,

fluttering in the wind,

the feeling of freedom

was different from before.

Freedom never felt so filled with bliss.

The birds that flew above,

the movement of their wings,

replicating the soft thrust of the motor.

The wind brushed my sunburnt cheeks,

the coolness of the water,

splashing off the ridges of the boat,

all brought the feeling of pure freedom.
