A shadow slid down the stairs in the late afternoon
On a Sunday landing
The silence was deserted
I dangled my feet, my notebook still closed
The world was at rest
I was here
On a Sunday landing
My sighs were melting in the wind
I momentarily forgot about the rules of obligation
I wasn't trapped by someone else's schedule
I just tested my own stride
The sky peeking out the window was the answer
As I sat on the stone steps
A child's voice in the distance
A small sound I normally wouldn't notice reverberated
I took off my sneakers and took a breath
On a Sunday landing
I felt a little light-hearted
I was listening to someone. Even if you get caught, just laugh and run away
On a Sunday dance floor, there's a little bit of freedom
Even if you hesitate about the future
You can start from here
In the light and wind
