You knew her so well
yet didn't know
Picked her up when she fell
but the pain hadn't showed

Was it all lost?
Disappeared in the night?
Her mind isolated in frost
She'd lost her fight

Losing her way with no idea
which way to turn or go
Moving further away with fear
her mind without a sane flow

It stopped you in your tracks
made you sit up and stir
Clouds had turned so black
Were you losing her?

Set her free if you must
she needs time, this she'd prefer
Support her during rest
many weeks passed in a blur

Unravelling like a flower
she came back into view
Something different about her
a spirit, refreshed and renewed

Would she spread her wings
fly so very far away
Perhaps but see what this brings
and just pray that she'll stay
