I stayed,
With the uncomfortable feeling;
I waited,
Till the unsettled feeling settled in;
I walked slowly,
While the pain sank in;
And then, just like that-
I was done.
The feelings muddied my feet,
I was messy and free.
From heart a quiet whisper,
A resonance-
With a solitary cloud,
Unbounded from doubts;
An urge from the wind,
To just be,
I am free.
