Farewell, Kagura

Like a feather dancing on the air,
firey eyed,
you danced across our view, Kagura --
a spirit dance constrained,
a shimmer of youki, bound
a dream shackled
a breath of wind longing always to be free.
How you pushed those boundaries
until they shattered,
until you fluttered down,
wounded heart beating
shackles torn,
an autumn leaf passing across Sesshomaru-sama's eyes
in one last peaceful release.

Blow free, Spirit Dancer.
I will not forget you.
