Respiration

I hear flutes playing at eleven o'clock

A wave draws back to the moon

Petals divide to reveal hidden butterfly wings

And the air smells like the beginning of new things 

..

A fresh kind of sunlight fills a pristine sky all the way to noon

I'm energised in a way I hadn't been for a very long time 

The horizon greets me with many amens 

As I declare halleluyahs 

..

I frame it in my mind a visage sublime

Breakthrough's changed my fate

Doors that were closed superceded by windows open 

It's an Edenic rebirthing

..

It may as well be the pearly gates

Tomorrow here I come with gladness 

The storm has finally passed

A second wind infills at last
