Ruth Walters - No Baggage

I sit on the seashore
breathing salt air
free as the wind
no worries, no cares.

I've no possessions,
not even my bones
for all that I am
will quickly be gone

Why shackle my spirit,
make me conform,
limit my freedom
as soon as I'm born.

I am the ocean,
I am the sun,
I am the land,
do me no harm.

I am an earthling
born from a star
let me breathe freely
no luggage, thus far.

Ruth Walters
