Nov 2011
Arriving in reality after a week of surrender
Stepping out onto platforms of life
The sudden gush of rushing bodies
Surrounded by trees from autumn and spring  
Forgetting how breaths of fresh air are taken for granted
Forgotten that it’s crucial for life, and all it can give.
Lungs expanding, as they fill with the clean, icy freshness of oxygen
Faces appearing from all angles, swarming like wasps to their nests
Mind filled with hazy delusion
Sounds of screaming whispers belonging to unknown ears.
Beads of sweat simply reminding us that our world is ever moving,
overwhelming and, as always, prepared to
Take on the universe and all its secret secrets
