She does not turn away —
she simply softens the gaze.
What once clung to the edges of her mind
has loosened, like petals falling
not in grief,
but in grace.
The past is not erased —
it has been folded
into the lines of her face,
the curves of her thought,
the hush between words.
She walks forward
not with certainty,
but with ease —
as if the sky taught her
how to be wide
and unafraid.
