The Best Day I've Lived

I've never been able
To explain anything I feel.

And now it's all in front of me.
I see what I feel.

And everything around me is all I have ever felt, pictured, dreamt or imagined.

Each beat, sounds like what I thought love sounds like.

And each landscape is what I thought love looks like.

The light inside of me, is exploding, out.
And I can no longer put away in a drawer what I've held back my entire life.

It is not a word, or a song.

But a soul with every crease in the Rockies, every emotional thought or feeling

Beating as rapid as heart, pulsing.

And I can't pretend anymore.
I know things I can't explain.
I feel things I cannot share.

I am the world, and the world is me.

And the earth is not the same without you, without me.

You can't reach the last root that digs or the highest star that dives across the universe.

You can only let it grow, let it burn, let it fly, watch, breathe, die...

Shivers...

Your writing takes my breath away.

Christie! Your comment gives ME shivers. Most days my mind wanders aimlessly and I keep searching for my purpose.

You make me feel like writing is it.

I think it must be. <3

the truth about freedom

The space between inhale and exhale the space between stars fill up with air, and collapse into dust I walk a sunlit path and breath...
