Free Spirits: A Book of Poetry to Soothe the Mind
()
About this ebook
Free Spirits was built on the foundation of inspiring a higher consciousness of poetry through innovative perceptions, quotes, perspectives, and intellectual thoughts. This book was not designed to follow any specific rhythm or order but instead act as a soothing melody to provide real insight from personal experiences.
This book is my collection of poetry that conveys a symbolic message of transcending one’s self from the world—immersing you in real freedom. In this book, you will see original slam-styled poetry that I have personally written myself. The inspiring content I am providing in this book for you is widely influenced by the awareness of helping you to find yourself—through your unique talents. After reading this book, you will be inspired to overcome the societal ideals that exist in mind.
Welcome to the Free Spirit...

Inspiration behind Book
I was lying on the sand on a sunny day at Manhattan Beach watching each wave gently kiss the wind and thought to myself how lucky we are as humans to be free. I began to analyze how life gives each one of us a deck of cards. How we play those cards are synonymous to what we do—which aligns us with who we will become.
Sometimes the process can be weary trying to facilitate our spirits to walk along the path of freedom in an effort to accomplish our dreams. When I wrote Lost Souls that was my way of letting you know that we the dreamers of the world are that pillar of hope. We’ve been given a great power from the higher-being of the world and a great responsibility to humanity accompanies that power.
Before our time runs out on this earth we must leave our imprint in the sands of time. That imprint will show the world that you believed in the essence of believing in what your mind has conceptualized, which therefore permitted you to realize—that you are certified to rise above societal standards and soar towards the skies. Each day as a dreamer of the world you are endorsed by the endless auras of inspirations that your spirit will use to inspire generations.
Free spirits are defined as the inhibited, independent, self-conscious, atmosphere motivated creatures of
