Free Spirit

As a free spirit my body and mind would dance the fields
Full of joy and happiness run over fresh grass of green
But slowly as time wore on my feet become leaden
Slowly they became rooted in the clay beneath
Until one day I was rooted where I stood
My arms and body turned to stone

But then came another free spirit prancing around my leaden bows
Flirting through my heavy branches laden with fear and worry
And every time she came along my spirits would soar
My soul brighten at the love and happiness around
But sadly she would disappear every so often
Leaving my leaden branches to sag

And in all these times of loneliness my heart would yearn for my spirit to return
One day she came so briefly and slowly flitted away to a distance
She beckoned for me to come, to join her dance
My feet filled with fear and trepidation tried
Slowly they would move a step
A slow creep to freedom

Finally my desire moved away completely a whisper in the distance
She wanted and willed me to move so far so fast so alone
My feet moved but a few inches, a tiny step
And then a bit more ever closer and closer
I stood between my roots and my love
I could not move and called for her to fetch me

I stand here too scared to go back to scared too go ahead
Rooted once again calling to my love
Come fetch me come make me move
I need the hand and heart to pull me
To move me into her dream
Will she come get me?
