    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
