Live



Eyes blinded by the overwhelming sun rays
For a moment
It was all too bright
But the sun rays soon gave way

Squinted my eyes did
At a panorama of wonder
Raising my hand
I touched the air
That the grass
The trees
The sky
The rainbow
Breathed at me

I found a spot under a tree
Sat down
And looked at the sky
A great relish it was

A strawberry dropped from the tree
A leaf glided down

Picked up the strawberry I did
Holding it in my palms
It was red
Too red
It was smooth
Too smooth
I saw my reflection on it

Picked up the leaf I did
Holding it at the tips of my fingers
Flowing with the wind
It was green
Too green
It was delicate
Too delicate
It soothed my fingers

Strawberry and leaf
In my hands now
I want to keep them
I want to live here
