Summer: Accept All Departures*

I wonder do you know how stifling  your fear became?  You threatened to keep me  under lock and key,  where you could always see  that I was safe.  You threatened to take  the sun away,  keep me from growing into who I wanted to be.  Did you know?  How stifling your fear became?  I wondered.  Why you could never let the sun shine.  Were you afraid I’d grow out of your reach? 

How does it feel now that I’ve grown?  too tall to be suppressed. You can’t keep the sun from me now.  I know her love to be stronger. Than your fear.  And she never ties me down.  Where my roots settle,  is my choosing.
