buoyant again

I take the scissors in my steady right hand

the string I grasp in my left

a million miles beneath I see the ground

like a quilt left in childhood

or the kaleidoscope of seashells on the sand

too far away to touch or hold

it is the work of a simple moment in time

cutting the rope that ties me

I watch it fall away towards yesterday

a laugh bubbles up inside

you can never know how far is the sky

until you let it all go away

ebullience is a word I embrace again

leaving the darkness below

my face is set once more toward the light

hope can still surprise my heart

as my spirit begins to soar beyond the vale

Your love gives me wings
