I hope I never lose sight of how special freedom really is.

Freedom blooms
Like the sweetest fruit on the vine
As life opens up
Like the finest champagne
And god knows
I’ve earned my taste
Of the nectar of everyday paradise
Future echoes
Resonate sweetly
Deeds done today
Grow exponential
In the quality
Of future life
The whisky and women
The bottles and bros
Exotic sensations
The bliss denied for so long
In the longest time
The longest line
Of patience unheard of
In the lives of ordinary men
So bring on the present
Forget the past
And engineer the future
Into a world of contentment
Dance like no one is watching
Live like a perfect prince
Do what you love
And love what you do
It could all be over
In a heartbeat
So I drink my fill
Of the elixir of life
The world forever ours
Forever lost
Forever found
Forever

I’m really enjoying the everyday paradise that is life on the outside. You don’t know how special all the privilege and affluence of the Western world is until you lose everything. No happy without sad, no warm without cold and the contrast makes everything amazing.
I used a few clichés in this one but I think they were ones worth using.
I hope I never lose sight of how special freedom really is.
Skillfully and poignantly evoked 👏👏👏
