Steps grew slow beneath the cold
Held the dreams you could not fold
Soul refused the weight of old
Walked beyond what feet controlled
Roads unraveled in your sight
Gave your pulse a place to write
Fear that pressed with brittle bite
Loosened for your deeper flight
Dreams returned through muted beat
Rose from scars beneath your feet
Pain that carved your past deceit
Yielded to your heart’s retreat
Skies unfolded bittersweet
Opened ground for your repeat
Earth acknowledged your complete—
Heart walked farther than your feet
