And.She.Was.Gone...

She chose to walk alone, though others wondered why

Refused to look before her, kept eyes cast upwards towards the sky

She didn't have companions; no need for earthly things

Only wanted freedom from what she felt were puppet strings

She longed to be a bird, that she might fly away

She pitied every blade of grass, for planted they would stay

She longed to be a flame that brightly danced alone

Felt jealous of the steam that made the air its only home

Some say she wished too hard; some say she wished too long

But we awoke one autumn day to find that she was gone

The trees, they say, stood witness; the sky refused to tell

But someone who had seen it said the story played out well

She spread her arms out wide, breathed in the break of dawn

She just let go of all she held...and then she was gone
