Day Off

A friend flew in from far away
on route to somewhere else today
and so I cut my morning free
to walk the park, both I and he

we laughed and shared for hours there
shaking our minds of life's despair
giving old anger love's release
to welcome back internal peace

As he left he took my hand
and said, "I hope you understand
You once did just this act for me."
And with a kiss, he set me free.
