pockets

i hold nothing
in my pockets
nothing
to hold me down
slow me down
place me into a spot
make me stop
i am free
as a bird
as light
as a feather
a small petal
of heather
too bold
to ignore
i go out
explore
the hedges
along the shore
wait along
the moor
where shadows fall
i come to call
my home
so far away
from where
i used to roam
