Alive

Running, laughing,
falling.Feeling the softness cushion my legs.
The sharpness  of grass slice between my naked toes.
I lay back dizzy, feeling the warmth seep through my body
The wind caress my hair.
I close my eyes, seeing nothing but feeling everything.
My heart is beating loudly, rythmically. Synchronized with my breathing.
I don't dare move.
My ears pick up the sound of life.
I listen more attentively as it gets louder.
The sound rushes through my blood, carrying oxygen through my cells.
I hold my breath for one split second. Everything stops.
As if some un forseen force is also to listening and waiting.
I slowly exhale.
It was if an orchestra was waiting for the conductor to start.
I am the conductor.
I am alive.
