Paths Among Differential Plains; Redemption

I hear the chirping of birds and insects all around me. Running waters, serene shores. Moonlight silhouettes placed against the red of the rising sun. I am alone in this night and I am one with the stars. I hear echoes of the past, singing me to sleep in a sombre reprieve. No return. I gaze into you once again, but this time from a place less afraid. A place which is far beyond the reaches of my own hands. I come to you with a heart wide open. I come without such vulnerability, such shame. I come to you as love. It's time to embark on this path, never to look back. No guidance but the light in my eyes and the fire in my heart. No arms to embrace me, no lips to promise me. I can at last let my arms dangle freely as I've given up this fight. I no longer need to shield my face from this world.
