I thought I saw you
At the station.
I turned around without thinking
With a panic in my heart
And
An ache in my throat,
Imagining I might catch you.
I almost tripped and fell in my haste.
Then my mind caught my heart
Before it leapt to far ahead
And reminded me I had done this before.
I had begged and chased
Shamelessly.
I was lost in the moment no more.
Just like that.
They think she’s the crazy one.
She hears them talking but she does not care.
She is drunk on life itself.
Dancing by herself,
Using the the whole earth as her dance floor.
And they cannot imagine why she smiles and laughs so
As she twirls
And swirls her hips,
Hands overhead as she is reaching for the sky.
Because, she is somewhere else in her soul.
They do not know
The other life she lived.
And she is ever so grateful to be
So beautifully free.
She cannot
Hold it inside.
That is where she was trapped most of her life.
No more.
No more.
Do not let fear,
(or the figments of your imagination)
Hold you back from
Freedom,
Whatever that may mean to you.
