Lightness
There’s a feeling of lightness
Afloat in the air
Replacing the crushing
Depression once there.
The cloud cover’s parted,
Admitting some sun,
A reward for the challenges
Conquered and won.
The path won’t be easy
But now there’s a chance
So it makes perfect sense
If we just want to dance.
There is joy that’s reflected
In half-hidden smiles.
For hope that’s been muted,
We’ve turned up the dials.
I sail down the sidewalk
Where once I did trudge,
No longer afraid of
The muck and the sludge.
