Spiral of Knowing

She stands where tides speak softly,
in a dress the colour of silent fire,
the hush of a thousand footprints
gathering behind her.

A ribbon curls around her days,
pure and pale as a promise,
guiding her gently through light
into a dusk she dares to name.

Freedom is not flight alone —
it is the art of bearing weight,
of carrying one’s boundaries
with grace enough to breathe.

For a moment, she hesitates,
afraid the dusk will swallow her whole,
but still she turns, spiral by spiral,
from clouds that cradle childhood dreams
to seas that echo her deeper call,
each step a vow toward darkening truths.

Here on the sand,
where the wind keeps its secrets,
she becomes the quiet myth
of all who learn
that even beauty must be bound
to carve its way
from innocence
into knowing.
