i took a breath listen i took another one i can hear the soft hush of oxygen entering my lungs bringing life listen another hush is this what life sounds like i opened my eyes color light darkness shadows hues stars sunsets waterfalls my little girl’s impossibly tiny fingers the gaze of my beloved eyes they all fell through the windows of my eyes i opened my eyes is this what life looks like i felt something the slightest variation of texture of temperature an embrace a fall day wrapped in a favorite sweatshirt the caress of snowflakes on my face is this what life feels like i heard a sound a song a melody the waves crashing on the shore the symphony of autumn leaves my little boy is crying thunder calling across the sky someone said i love you is this what life sounds like and life can taste so sweet as coffee chases the donut ice cream’s creamy comfort the delight of strawberries i can smell each fallen leaf calling winter near the scent of summer rain and the blackened marshmallow in the snappy campfire is this the aroma and flavor of life and what of all the pain and sorrow too countless tears and so alone and shame chases me down the years is this what life is transcendence calls me home the unseen real touches my soul i long for a place that is real that is safe at home with the author of my soul complete and whole finally at peace is this what eternal life is yes to all the above and more i am here no one took me away so yes to life yes to the story teller of life
