The Jonathan Way...

Celebrating My Independence Day...

Living under the shadows of the sea, I tried so hard to live "As you Like it" 

Until one day I said NO MORE to you and your idiosyncrasies. 

Your rage to order, clipping my feathers of possibilities

Being Lost is the only way for me TO BE

I let go of your sky, AND your shadows of the sea. 

I am free to sing the song in my voice, free from your shadows of history.
