silently she lept across the river...
her hand lightly gripping hold of a branch,
gravity and balance reacting beneath her,
every rock was another hope on her way.
she listened attentively to what was around her,
she followed the river bed to a long path,
a path that led deep into the dark forest,
there she walked, there she left.
her head free without worries,
just a gentle tear slipped down her cheek,
her eyes were crystal clear,
everything she'd passed through was behind her now.
in this forest she found only silence,
the noisy kind of silence that rings deep in your ears,
the kind of silence which opens your eyes,
your senses to react to the touch and feel of everything.
when she stopped walking she felt no remorse,
she'd ran away from her fears,
all the fears she'd been holding deep inside her,
with one gush of wind all of these worries to be led away.
her heart-beat got back to normal,
she sat down beneath an old wise tree,
with branches so curved they could tell a tail,
of who and where anyone followed past this path.
her senses told her to follow where her feet took her,
she ran and ran never stopping at anything in the way,
the tears just swept down her face,
never stopping she left a trail of diamonds.
the sky was getting darker above her head,
she never stopped running until out of the forest came,
there she suddenly gave pause to her pace,
and looked far in front of her.
there it was, the horizon she'd dreamed of before,
it called to her, it called loud and clear,
for her to follow and catch, that thin inexistent line,
far away at sea she was being pulled.
walking on the sand and feeling the sea breeze on her face,
she walked to the sea slowly wetting her clothes,
giving her goose-bumps from the cool water,
she walked on and on blinded by this voice.
into the sea she followed without pause,
her light complexion drowned by the seas blue,
her soft light hair wet and heavy,
she followed and followed till forces gave her end.
