i am free, i am complete

Love threatens freedom.

On the outside of love, the walls are thick and the bars many and the locks strong. It seems as if once inside there’s no way of escaping. Like there’s no way of ever seeing the outside world the same way again. No more hope for freedom.

Though love seems scary. Everything within you calls you to it, yet embracing it may be the hardest thing you’ve ever done. The mystery behind the walls beckons you. The aroma of love reaches beyond your senses and stings your heart. Much stronger than you ever thought, little loves passed. The birdcage sweet song of love in your ear, the windy walk love on your skin, the beautiful gleam of love upon thine eye. These fall away, though captivating for a time. Far superior, the cage of love that binds reckless on the soul awaits, calling from beyond.

Trying to peer in – a glimpse, a resonance, a taste of what’s inside the walls of love. So mysterious, yet grand what lies within – the cage could be despair and the end of me. Once inside, no way out, forever lost in the clout of a mystery unknown to the outsider.

A sudden pull, a yank from within – this thing you can’t understand reeling you in. unlocked and swinging open. No fee in the walls of love. The invitation too great, a hard heart served up on a plate and left at the door.

The freedom within, who can explain? The life in the walls a new domain, greater in every way. Protection and life, peace and justice, boundaries in freedom – this can not be. From the outside, shackled and not set free. How can this love be so much bigger than just the eye can see, the ear can hear or the tongue touch? More than just feeling in love, a tangible reality looking out for the greatest good in me. A strange new way to view eternity. No where else I’d rather be than in this cell, in chains of love. Far larger than the cell can be, this love only makes sense in eternity.

Love is freedom, that I will shout to the world that shackles down, but can not contain with walls a love greater than a falling star from the sky. Come to the foolishness that is the great love. Be freed. Be captivated. Be filled. Be.

Love is freedom.
