You Shall Be Free
by Trinidad L. Tarrosa-Subido

I will not hold you by restraining hands
Nor yet by tears that silently accuse.
You shall be free—like waters on the strands
That come, and go, and tarry, as they choose.
I will not speak of days sweet to remember,
Of lanes we trod through April sun and shower,
Of twilight trysts through early-starred November,
Prolonged each twilight by an evening hour—No, not a word to hint of that or this,
Lest speaking so, your going I impede.
I will resign myself to all that is—Like unto sands when cooling waves recede.
O while the strength of seeing love undone
Still stands by me, I pray you, Love, be gone.

The above photo is a distant view of Glenfinnan Monument with Loch Shiel beyond.
I stood on the top of that high heather covered crag and felt as if I were on top of the world. .
As the storm clouds gathered, I listened to the cry of the gulls and spread my arms, tilted my face to the wind and closed my eyes; in that moment I felt my spirits take flight and soar as high and free as a bird. I felt alive, truly alive.
