When I am still

I feel the shadows touch my face

The wind swirls and dances through me, leaving me refreshed and aware of it’s aliveness

There is a reassuring weight to every breath, grounding, but with no gravity

Sounds no longer have a name, they are just heard

Trees no longer have a species, they just dance

Colours seem impossible, there only to be marvelled at

A smile from a child is a smile directly from god, bursting me wide open to almost obliteration

followed by a subtle nod of acknowledgement

There can be a sadness deep within, comforting and soft and only then a knowing it’s not mine

I am a bird soaring on the warm air only to drop suddenly with a weightlessness I have never felt but know

I am everything and a smile grows within ready to escape
