My eyes
drawn left
found a raven
awaiting my return
dawn was falling
with cool winds rising
my limbs
longed for freedom
and my heart
was riding
crashing waves
as at last
at last
I began to run
casting off my shackles
growing lighter
with each step
winging
through the skies
a creature
not of this world
nor of the next
within myself
and outside
myself
humanity reduced
into ultimate expansion
until I fly ~ Caroline A. Slee
