Fiction
The trees are bare and the wind whisks by me and starts dancing with my hair. It’s the only thing that moves as I’m paralyzed with fright. I can’t move my legs or open my mouth, I’m frozen. The branches move, bend, and twist just like I’ve always dreamed I could, but I can’t. My lips press tightly together in defiance, like they’re disobeying my soul and deepest desires. As I stand there still, life races by me. It doesn’t stop to say hello or see how I’m doing. It doesn’t even stop to gently move me out of the way. It crashes over me, through me, and tramples me. As I feebly attempt to put one foot in front of the other my leg shakes uncontrollably. So I step back and pull my hair tightly away from my face. I can’t stand it, its freedom is taunting me, laughing at me. As I compose myself with a tighter grip on my reality, I start again. Put one foot in front of the other. More rigid, more structured. Now nothing’s moving freely. Movement comes only if I will it. I step out again with a stronger foothold then before. Nothing can deter me, misdirect or misguide my steps. I am in control, I will stay in control. I will let my dreams blow through the branches and off to their destiny where they belong. I have no right holding them hostage. I will walk this path alone. Fated to hold my head high without regrets, but I will always have them. I’ll never be able to forget what I left behind. I’m in the midst of life, the rush and storm surrounding me. I look up to see the bare branches of this season blow in the wind. If only I could let my hair down again to meet its soul mate and have one last dance.
