I am bound
By faith
By Church
By vows
By whispers
By witnesses
I am bound
By family
By tradition
By precedent
I am bound
By fear
By love
By the known and unknown
I am bound
By duty
By role
By self
I am bound
And yearning
Tightly wound
Waiting for wind and water
Of which I am both.
I am the binding.
I am the release.
And so I unfurl
By fear
By love
By the known and unknown.
I unfurl.
To the sky and to the sea
Always within
Always waiting.
I unfurl.
And I am free.
