Floating

This poem is about my ex passing away, letting go of that love and meeting new eyes with curiosity

A feather floats down the stream

From where you used to sit

Your beating heart is all I heard

For days and years on end

I tested waters

And broke ice

But the whisper of your name

Always kept me on edge

My heart beat

For you there

Until the day

You flew away

You dropped my heart

Right back

Into my hollow chest

My eyes were opened

My vision cleared

I saw the ocean

It brought me tears

A spark ignited

Into the shadows

And with a glance

The sun gazed into my eyes

A soft kiss

Fell upon my lips

A flower blossomed

Between my hips

My soul lifted

And I felt

Light as a feather

Floating down a stream
