Freedom Comes with a Price..!!

Like an abstruse ocean
letting a ship course calmly past,
with a storm deep inside…
Like the deep forests
wild yet hushed,
all giving while staying grim…
Like the sun burning inexorably,
but bestowing unscathed warmth
and a sanguine light…
Like a butterfly fluttering away
free and unworried,
after coming out from the wraps of wait…
Like the ease of expressing
a concealed lie and
relenting the pile off the shoulders…

Freedom is an onerous Truth.
It comes with a price.
A price of sacrifice.
