I have been living life.
Toiling in daylight and moonlight.
Traveling by car, by train, by plane, by horse,
By dream, by goal.
Exploring water and exploring land,
Inhaling and exhaling--breathing.
Running to the light and lying in the darkness just living in that place that brings solace to my soul.
Where mountains are but hills, and pain is but a snowflake melting as it lands on warm and ardent skin.
Where I can fall in love and just as quickly stumble on its cure.
For "there" I am king...yet "there" no longer in my head belongs but rather here in life where my heart beats.
For even in my slumber my heart it beats and pleads and waits
for its request to reach my soul.
The heart's request is truth which shall true bliss to me consort
My heart it beats, a count down of an untimely and expected end; and end which will no longer be easily relinquished.
What I fear matters no longer.
What I lack matters even less.
My faults are plenty; my restitution undeniable
What I risk is worth all...
For in the end I'm living life...full life...
exposed, unblocked, raw
and free.
No longer drugged by the wrath of Morpheus, my eyes awake they are to life
and I'm alive...alive I am...and alive I shall be...
I'm alive for the first time to life
My life
