What Was Once Mine

I walked up 
To the highest hill
Something lay in me
On a hill
Above

Birds circled
On a wind
On the highest hill
Where something lay in me

Arms, outstretched
I feel within me
Something
To be released
I gave it up
Let it fly
Let it be

I cannot define
What I gave up
Let it be
What was once mine
