Rise

Lit Up — May’s Prompt: Nostalgia

I held my life
And let it go.

I dreamt for me
And rose.

I climbed a climb
And flew.

A while.

Until,
I remembered,
That I was
Cut in.

I still try.

At least I’m at the top.

But, I breathe less,
And less.

I might need to start over again.

Hope
Can still fly
Strong.
