Fear

I stood on the edge of a cliff
small, insignificant, and obsolete
the valley below me stretched out
for miles...

I rode on the wings of a bird
tense, afraid, and alone
the land below me hidden by
clouds...

I sat on the throne of justice
regal, powerful, and revered
the people below me bowing for
grace...

I stumbled in the fields of spring
uninhibited, abandoned, and open
the grass in front of me
my path to freedom...
