Outside the sky is grey
Inside my heart is broken
Nothing but failure echo's
Numbing my already desolate mind.
*
I look again and see clouds parting
Light seeping and leaking through the grey
I hear the new song of hope from the birds
And feel the gentle breeze of aspiration
*
I wipe the stray tear from my eye
and look up to the now so blue sky
My world may have toppled into ashes
My life combust right before my eyes
But something about me was different
Something wasn't quite the same
*
I felt weightless
*
I felt like I could really watch the sky,
Really absorb nature
Really think
Really feel
Like the sunshine controlled me
Absorbed and gave new life to my withered and tired bones.
*
Life's past disapointements disapeared within the blink of an eye
Time and space no longer mattered
Nor did circrumstance
Nor did position
*
I was weightless
*
As I watched the old grey clouds simmer into dust
I began to realise
that no matter what came my way
If I look up to the sky
Nothing could ever bring me back down again.
Nothing could ever hold me down.
Nothing could ever keep me down.
*
For I am weightless
