White-picket fences, passerby glances,
Sun-glistened hedges and regal chapels
Decorate the periphery
As I ride through their territory,
One thread in the quilt of this story
Drawn into the current.
Once I had no air so went nowhere,
And could not at all see the trees
Despite the fact they were standing there
Immersed quite salient in the breeze.
Glow of life surrounds me now
Like a best friend reaching out –
Arms hugging, pulse rushing.
I experience revival.
