Freeing .
Had I
ruby-cloistered crowns
gloves of silk
and embroidered gowns.
Had I
diamond-set gold rings,
coats of fur
and pearls on fine strings,
Would I
trade riches for life spent
with thy lips
freeing all I then possess.

Better to be free than to possess. I loved this little thought provoker. Someone said, something like, "Doing without possessions is essential to happiness." Yeah, lets all throw away our silly possessions. Great write, Fay. - Phil A. _
