Contemporary poem by Arnulf Øverland,

The Free Thought –
Birds hover above me.
I hear birdsong—
a phrase that strikes my heart,
a thought with wingspan.
I fly within my thoughts.
The air holds no barriers.
A phrase of love embraces my mind.
Suddenly, birdsong, the bird’s song,
the bird’s mercy, its love for humankind,
has become my free thought.
I write, I read—
and suddenly, a reflection of soaring thoughts,
no hindrance, only myself,
my thought, a free thought.
The thought of dogma confines my play of mind,
confines your soul.
Religions cage the bird.
Set it free,
release love into the open space where it can breathe,
where it can find peace in creation.
The power of dogma squanders freedom of thought.
I will not believe anything at all.
I will think, reflect, write, and read my own words.
I will shape my own mind.
The free thought.
