FREE
~ Inspired by Sue Austin …and everyone living with chronic illness.
                                               

I broke free from you – in search of me
            No more chains – alone, able to move - to be free 

            Released from binding troubles which control me
            Free from pain, from fear and controversy

            Graceful, my aquatic ballet – dreamlike, I’m normal
            Unchained from stiff limits which impound me

            Free from hurt, chronic burdens which haunt me
            Unassisted, following my map – holding the key

            Floating, flying free from scars and those who pity
            Free to smile, to breathe…to be me. 


original work by MPP2013




 Become inspired and greatly moved by viewing this breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL video of Sue Austin!   YouTube has many more interviews, videos, etc. available to view about Sue Austin.

I read the poem rather than watch the video. There are so many interpretations of "Free". I was reminded of many different things. From a wheel-chair bound individual who refused to leave my pool to expressing one's artistry without reservation.
