Footsteps stalled in torment
Walls caged your trembling core
A presence held you hostage
Inside a closing door
Breath urged a single turning
Spine rose from buried ground
A walk began in silence
Without a backward sound
Air widened in your leaving
Light framed your new display
A destiny stepped forward
The moment you walked away
Honor this grand departure
Let wisdom clear the sway
Lifetimes shift their axis
Through souls that walk away
