She walks alone in peace, tarries shedding the burden she carries hunting freshness, looking wearied I saw dropped skins she 'd outgrown No imposed guilt, sins to atone moving steady on paths unknown Raw forces behind her rallied Her feet heavy with commitments yet tracing paths of wonderment she creates art, does not lament lack of love - all questions parried see for how long will she pull on think if she is mad or moron check if it's just her or a clone but let her go - free, unqueried
Let go


I love the metaphor of life as walking… it would be great to have someone sharing her burden though.

I love that last line especially – ‘but let her go – free, unqueried’ – you can’t pin down a creative soul!

The doubt you raise is so valid. The world makes it their business to raise queries.
