You Are Life

When you’re about to jump- Stop. listen to the sound of your breath Feel the sand in every toe, Every crevice in your foot Shut your eyes and feel the winter breeze Smell the rain, Laugh even if you feel like jumping- Even if there’s tears tumbling down, Watch the clouds morph, Listen to the sound of your own heartbeat You are alive You are the wind, and the air, and the sun and stars all at once, You are love. You feel the universe within you Not because of faith But because of life A precious and painful balance- A gift to feel so greatly and suffer Like a rollercoaster moments before the drop-
