The wind blew through her
Arms up
Head to the sky
Her skin exposed
The wind blew through
He left hair streaking back into the night sky
Her dress pulled tight to her front but pulled and twisted as the wind wrapped around her
Her skin felt a light burn from the wind
Across her cheeks
He bare arms and legs
Her neck exposed as her hair danced its own dance.
But more than all of that
The wind blew through her
It changed her
Cleared her perpetually clouded thoughts
Allowed her to focus on those few, key things she needed to live a good and happy life
And identify all the extra weight
All the redundancies in her life
And even those things and people that she did not want in her life.
Some people would be hurt
Some insulted
Some angry
And some understanding.
The wind was blowing and all of her knew what that meant
It was time
Her time
Her time to shine. To change. To live freely. To live for herself.
It was time for her to let go of her comfortable life and place and friends and family. Let go and walk away
Into the world
Alone
It was not
Never to come back
It was
I have to find myself in the world. Not this little world I only know. But the great big world that so few of us have seen
And the wind
It still blew
