Free

I tried to find an answer.
I found more questions.

I slipped and fell and got up again.
I was still lost.

I laughed and cried and shuddered.
I wondered.

I tripped and fell and let the days pull me along.
I let go.

And then...

I opened my eyes and saw a beginning.
I found answers.

I skipped and tripped but always landed on my feet.
I found direction.

I laughed and cried and trembled.
I was in awe.

My hesitation left me.
I was free.
