She walks down through the shadows just before the sky turns black Beside the water's edge she lets the robe fall down her back Wades into the silky dusk light off the old boat shack Crawling through the shallows, the earth crumbles in her hands She cracks the chilly stillness as she glides away from land Out towards the middle she lets her lungs expand No thoughts about No burning doubt Floating Out into the flow Carried on the sound Someday she may know Tonight she is unbound She listens to the movement deep within the wooded hills Never felt so alive, never felt so still She lets her head fall back and the world be what it will All the weight Dissipates Floating She walks up through the shadows now, follows the well-worn tracks Peer in through the kitchen window, feels the water still on her back A little light spills out the door, she left it open just a crack
