Petals in the Air

I stepped outside, the morning felt alive

Like something shifted when I wasn't looking

A softer color settled in my eyes

As if the day was quietly reopening

Petals in the air tonight

Drifting slow and bright

I don't know how they found me

But they changed the light

I used to walk like nothing could begin

Holding my breath in case the feeling broke

But now the quiet feels like pulling me in

And every step is lighter than before

Petals in the air tonight

Falling as I breathe

Every doubt is loosening

Its grip on me

If this moment disappears

I'll still know it came

I felt my heart begin to move

And it won't be the same

Petals in the air

Still rising when I close my eyes
