Grass parts for something unseen—
a creature made of breath stubbornness and dawn
It circles me curious fearless
Hope has always preferred wild territory
It moves like a rumor whispered by mountains
It leans close touching my heartbeat with its nose
Old fears scatter like startled birds
Something stirs—a beginning I forgot I deserved
The world tilts letting in more sky than usual
Shadows loosen their grip on my ankles
I feel the earth learning my name again
Hope steps beside me no leash no conditions
We walk until horizon loses its edge
Nothing chases us Nothing warns us away
Wild hope lives here untamed unashamed
I choose to stay
