A Day Of Discovery

There comes a time for everyone when rediscovering themselves is simply magical. The need to step away from the past and let go of the pain becomes critical in order to heal.

A Day of Discovery

 

Discovering the warmth I hid from for so long,
I walk down these streets with the sun on my face
No longer smothered in a cold blanket of gray
Endless blue skies release my soul to the wind.

 

Spinning in laughter the a child appears
I am amazed by the freedom in his smile
He welcomes me in his arms as we dance
I bathe in the joy and peace he instills in me

 

I hear someone whistling and I think
"Insn’t that wonderfully strange?,
How someone can whistle so loud
Without caring what others think?"

 

Suddenly I find myself in a floral shop
With a handful of flowers and a twenty in the card.
I hear the bell behind me as the sun awaits my return
Curiously, the whistling begins again

 

I watch my hands place the flowers I just bought
At the feet of a homeless woman on the corner
"How did I know she was there?
She wasn’t there before was she?"

 

On this day, my chains have been broken
Free from the weight of my depression
I discovered someone I haven’t seen in a long time
With a smile, I vow to never leave again.
