i am writing this to remind myself
of what i thought this morning
as i walked the sidewalk
with cars rushing by
i could see my breath in the air
but i could also see the sun
and the way that it pierced through
the tops of trees and her hair
i took a moment to see the sky
it was empty and vast
floating across the top of the earth
like that parachute game i used to play
at recess in elementary school
and ****
how great is it to be alive?
a smile spread across my face
and i skipped to the lunch room
i don't care that i look like a fool
because i am happy
and if you're happy, you should
embrace it while it's here
so i danced along with the cold wind
and i smiled back at the sun
