Summer Roll

Rolling down a grassy knoll

I feel the world spinning.

I pick up speed as I roll.

Soft grass hitting my face

Filling my nose with the fragrance

Of grass, earth, and summer.

The care-freeness in that moment

Felt absolutely incredible.

I slowly came to a stop.

Lying there looking at the sky

So blue, with fluffy white clouds

Floating across it.

I forgot all the pain and hurt

I had been dragging me around.
