Tightness that falls

          Weights that are full and tight press so heavy
against my lungs. So much that my mind screams for
the one release. Still I hide away the slips of wonder.

          The sighs of strength break open the silence.
Here are the questions. The ones that just place
themselves inside the mind. Still the layers of
issues fall quiet.

        Shh if you listen you could read the thoughts.
Such highlights of the morning. The words that just
fall upon your steps. Do I speak, no. Just hold
still.

       Oh the distances I go to see what, where love was
to follow. Such a child I am for dreaming, to realize
I didn't have to search. The warmth has been all
around. All tiny specks of dust speak volumes of
given pieces of joy.

         Why, still, is there a heaviness? The choking of
no clarity? The feeling of walking alone?

        Ah the tears that find corners of blues. So clear
they are prepared to fall but I hold back. I cling to
not allowing of a soft whispering of water.

         Shh you may say, my dear friend, but the eyes
tell a bigger story. The sniffles of strength that I gain,
oh how can I not cry.

         Such the release of negativity. The echoes of
heaviness as it disappears. The sighs that are heard,
are those of such relief.

           Simple as the search of emptiness for a few
seconds opens the waves of air to bring answers,
calls of care to me. Oh how kind is the answer of a
prayer. So gentle is the love that surrounds.

         So less is the burden of my day. So many more
pleasing steps to invite. So my dear friend, will
you be included?

          Ah what is to become of this day is unknown
but to be ready, I am, to all the wonderful opportunities
to be given.

        So what will be the bit of joy that makes me
sing today? A smile? A hug? A bit of laughter?
