Artistic Freedom
by Nate A. Lindell, #303724, P.O. Box 9900, Boscobel, WI 53805

Twisting symbols 'n' signs are what my mind sees
When I see art—drawn, written or even
Sung, I sense all such art similiarly
Finding pleasure in a few lines like these

This sight, this sense—though sealed tight in a box—
Fills more of my consciousness as of late
Guiding me as I"m impelled to create
Poetry and prose. Away ticks my clock

While my body stays in its cage for life
Yet my artist's mind's eye gives liberty
To me—not the slaves who turn my lock's key

Thus I rise above the soul—death so rife
In the masses of blind humanity
Living in fractal realms of fantasy!
