the trees russle from the breeze
she walks
she walks through puddles
and mud
weeds
and flowers
she walks
her dress whips against her legs
as she approches a cliff
she walks
foot by foot
step by step
she walks
closer and closer to her uncompremisable leap
soon she feels the rocks beneath her feet fall
she looks down
tears filling her eyes
she walks
her soul is free
free from pain
free from abuse
free
a simple smile crawls across her face
she flys...


"when everything feels like the movies,
you bleed just to know your alive"

free
a simple smile crawls across her face
she flys...

Now that she has tasted freedom...she will never walk that path again?  That is my sincerest hope.

A very wonderful write...a journey many "shes" have known.
