Out in the cold
The wind called my name
So I faced it without fear
I breathed freely in this fresh air
Sweeping away old realms
I had changed direction
I would not surrender
Feeling neither rejection nor objection
For a prize I had not sought
Contented by the warmth of my labour
The fruits never tasted so sweet
Even if a little unrefined
This is the field of dreams
Today liberty won
So leave me out in the cold
Satisfaction was paid
By releasing the flame within
~ Camille
“Out in the cold” is a freedom poem — a poem about choosing your own direction, rejecting prizes you never wanted, and finding warmth in the work you do for yourself.
Printed in vibrant red ink on earthy oatmeal-toned recycled paper, this piece carries bracing clarity — a reminder that liberty can feel like cold air at first, and that satisfaction is earned by releasing the flame within.
