Flying Away || Poetry

Because Of One Smile

It began in my heart

Starting with a small flame

And spread throughout with a spark

I had no clue

What was happening

What would I do?

I jumped up and

My fingers brushed the stars

The sun's light tendrils

Flourished and fanned

My skin, scaring away the dark

The smile on my face

Was stationary

Gave me some sort of grace

Like a bride on her wedding day

I twirled and spun around

My fears were gone in an instant

And my laughter couldn't find solid ground

And for once, I couldn't say "I Can't"

My feet were as light as the air around me

Even as the rain soaked my hair and the sky was bursting with grey and gloom
