I Carry The Weight

I carry the weight

Of love in abundance.

Of brighter days

That see with wide eyes.

I carry the weight

That is never a burden.

It’s a weight that feels light.

A weight that feels divine.

Feels like freedom.

The weight of paradise is upon my shoulders.

No pain does this heart feel.

No hate shall bound me.

A feeling surreal.

Feeling like feathers in the wind

Carried away in bliss.

This is the weight that I carry.

It’s the weight of love’s kiss.

That Little Girl

Made with a shattered heart that could renew itself,

Upon dried tears and a wish.

Upon possibilities of what could be.

Through the eyes of a child,

Visions danced of a soul being free.

That little girl from long ago,

Longing to be loved and free,

Grew up with a heart with everlasting love.

That little girl is me.

Never imagined I’d see yesterday through tomorrow’s eyes.

Hope now blinded once again by the truth,

Of an uncertainty in life that is all too real.

Living in a world full of broken hearts, promises, and paths.

Where is my sunshine and rainbow?

Where is my shovel to dig myself out of this hell of despair and fear?

Where is the train to Anyplace other than here?
