Mar 2015
Something seems a little different today
The weight of the world vanished
Leaving me standing here clueless
Everything feels much lighter now
Even my feet, as I push forward
I take it as a hint to slow down
And I slowly come to a halt
Looking around at the clear skies
As if the clouds parted for me
The sweet smell of morning rain
With fresh dew drops coating the earth
It all seems so profound and different
I wonder if this is the beginning
Or perhaps the beautiful ending
Of my seemingly eternal suffering
Resonating within is a new feeling
That I belong in this tainted world
Found in my own belated acceptance
I am more free than I’ve ever allowed
Is this what they call happiness?
I could be wrong...
Maybe I'm mistaken.
