fear

you shook me once.
i was born a leaf
i became a twig
i am a tree,
rooted yet free.

you chased me once.
i started to slow
i became faster
i am the wind,
flying and free.

you caged me once.
i started to cry
i began to scream
i am singing,
unlocked and free.

you mesmerized me once.
i was a pendulum
i became a sundial
i am a mirror,
gazing and free.

you let me go.
i was an egg
i became feathers
i am a dove,
i will not flee.
i am free.
