Outside

Just one more step,
You will be beyond bounds.
The world will come alive,
With its entourage of sounds.

Sound of the birds,
Who could so freely fly.
You watched from the window,
You were jealous...don’t lie.

Envious of the winds,
That took them higher each time.
Sunshine, so bright and cozy,
You could make words rhyme.

Just one more step,
The breeze teased your curious heart.
Can’t live in your bubble forever,
Someday you’ll have to start.

So gathering courage,
You left the known inside.
This time they stopped to look at you.
Behold world ~ she is outside.
