You catch a glimpse of her bare heel as she darts behind the tree<\/p>\n
And you are close, but not close enough<\/p>\n
And you are quite sure that you can hear<\/p>\n
Her heavy breathed laughter<\/p>\n
Drifting through the woods<\/p>\n
Amongst the ecstatic chirping<\/p>\n
Of spring-fevered aviaries<\/p>\n
Feathers dropping all around you<\/p>\n
Like angels fallen<\/p>\n
Into Earthly pleasure.<\/p>\n
Your blood runs hot<\/p>\n
And your legs pump with abandon<\/p>\n
Naked feet falling into each step<\/p>\n
Without needing to be told<\/p>\n
Where to go.<\/p>\n
You were made for this,<\/p>\n
I told you so.<\/p>\n
Once you were tired and timid<\/p>\n
And holding back<\/p>\n
But you felt the calling even then<\/p>\n
And it drove you to madness.<\/p>\n
Drawing curtains over the sadness<\/p>\n
Pacing circles into the floorboards<\/p>\n
Wearing them down<\/p>\n
Until you fell right into the ground.<\/p>\n
Well, here you are now.<\/p>\n
You’ve done the hard work<\/p>\n
Of pushing through the constraints<\/p>\n
Of your old shell<\/p>\n
And bursting open,<\/p>\n
Now, give ’em Hell.<\/p>\n
Give them fire and desire<\/p>\n
Spread your petals open<\/p>\n
And receive the Sun.<\/p>\n
Dance with devas and dragons<\/p>\n
And run.<\/p>\n
Pounding steps along the forest floor<\/p>\n
Chasing the reflection of your own desire<\/p>\n
And finally catching up<\/p>\n
And finding more.<\/p>\n
