I'll Fly Away
It's been a while... Too long... I can't explain where I've been. Part dream, part nightmare. You wouldn't believe me if I told you. Glad to finally be waking up. Eyes open now. Laying in the park, watching the sky move way too fast... Wishing it would slow down. Wishing life would slow down. Wishing I would slow down.
Saw a feather in the clouds. Beautiful wisps of white on a perfect Florida blue. Later the rain moved in... Forcing me inside... My house and my head. It was too cramped in there. Too cluttered. Too everything. I needed out.
Walked outside... stood in my yard... head tilted back in an effort to pour the contents out and start anew. Arms open wide, accepting and needy. The sky hugged back. Looked down and saw my feather. It must have fallen when the sky reached down to pick me up.
