A POEM: BEING FREE
This poem was written by the 10 year old daughter of one of the hiker’s supporters, Vesper Lewis:
Being Free
I want to be free like a bird flying above
I want to sing like a blue jay singing to a dove
I want to run as fast as a tiger with firey red stripes
all through the forest lighting up the night.
I want to be like a bunny hopping along the path to get where I belong.
The grassy area of open space that will be my home my base.
I want to be the clouds drifting above the sheep.
That’s what it feels like to be free.
~ by Sitara
Vesper Lewis, recently wrote an article about the hikers:
“Detained in Iran: How We Can Help” for the Elephant Journal.
