The heart is a magical thing.
The moment I start to feel alive it tears me down and cuts off my wings.

While I was not used to being on the ground.
I run through the forest in hopes of making no sound.

I stopped by a river to catch my breath.
I saw a beautiful creature that made me forget about the hearts little test.

I stood in silence and watched the creature I’d never seen before.
It’s eyes were bright and sharp like the blade of a new sword.

The sight made my heart begin to race.
It noticed my fear and began to snarl and pace.
If only I could escape but there was nowhere to go

A loud bark made me jump, and  it’s large tail came down with a thump!

I watched the dust arise and float into the sky.
When I looked hard enough I could see message written inside.

“The only trouble here, is there fear you feel inside. Once that fear subsides you will no longer wonder why.”

I looked back down where the creature had stood.
It was gone and all there was left was the endless amount woods.

My eyes went to the water, there I caught a reflection of myself.
I didn’t look worried or frightened.
The sacred look and dull eyes had brightened.

The creature never wanted to hurt me.
It only wanted to show me that I am the only one who controls me.
