Lifted

My heart was once heavy.

It felt as though a brick sat in my chest.

Then something, or someone, came and stole that weight away.

Now it is able to float.

It does so ever so carelessly.

Just as a feather would in a mild summer breeze.

I sit down on a nearby bench and watch it for awhile.

Suddenly, a smile stretches across my face.

I close my eyes and deeply inhale the warm fresh air.

Along with the smell of freshly cut grass, and breathe out slowly.

Finally, my mind is at ease.

I stand and begin to walk.

I don't know exactly where.

Somehow it feels as if I can go anywhere.

So I guess anywhere is where I'll go . . .
