I decided to write a poem about freedom so here is my response to the challenge.

😊

**Whispers of Freedom**

In the dawn’s embrace, where shadows flee,

A gentle breeze calls out, "Come run with me."

Fields stretch wide beneath the endless sky,

Each blade of grass a dream, waiting to fly.

Mountains stand guard, bold and serene,

Their peaks touched by sunlight, a glimmering sheen.

Rivers carve paths, wild and unchained,

Their laughter a chorus, unbroken, untrained.

Chains forged in silence, now rusting away,

As voices unite to proclaim a new day.

The song of the heart, vibrant and true,

Stirs deep within, awakens the view.

Dance like the stars when night cloaks the earth,

Embrace every moment, discover your worth.

For freedom is fleeting, a treasure to hold,

A tapestry woven with stories untold.

In the heart of the cities, in fields far and wide,

In laughter and sorrow, where hope cannot hide,

Let us rise together, a chorus of light,

In the name of our freedom, we ignite the night.

So hear the whispers, the call of the free,

In each breath of justice, in every decree.

With open arms, let our spirits ascend,

For in unity’s heartbeat, our freedom transcends.
