The air tastes different when the door swings wide
Like honey poured from the edge of the sky
Every color feels sharper, more true
As if the world was waiting for you
And each step hums with a living chord
The song of a path you can now afford
The ground feels young beneath your feet
Every stone and blade of grass a heartbeat
The wind lifts your hair like an eager guide
Carrying whispers of the life outside
The weight you carried is nowhere near
Only the lightness of being here
You see the horizon not as a line
But a threshold alive with a golden sign
An unspoken welcome, a silent cheer
That says you were always meant to appear
The air itself feels like it grins
At the way your story now begins
The pulse of the earth matches your own
As if it knows you have finally grown
Beyond the walls, beyond the fears
Into the days where the sky clears
And the light you’ve kept in careful hold
Spills out in rivers of molten gold
No longer waiting, no longer apart
You are the flame, the wave, the start
And the world unfolds like an open hand
Inviting your footprints across new land
For every beginning is both wild and sure
And you are the proof it was worth the endure
