undead
Greenlighter
the soft spoken words of pleasureful seduction entice me as i stop what im doing to follow the sweet voices into the fields of eternal bliss. i hear birds singing their songs of love to one and other as i lie down on the grassy knoll provided for me by the erosion of the swaying breeze. a butterfly glides past my curious eyes as i watch with an inseperable glare. with one sweeping motion, the butterfly follows the flow of the air as a beam of light from the rising sun brushes it's beauty over the hovering particles of the warm morning dew.
with every footstep forward, i leave a trace of my soul imprinted in the moist grass to be frozen in time as the sun dries the impressions leaving me with the most perfect reminder of how to return home.
in times of despair, i glance up at the sky and it's radiant beauty surrounded by the fluffy clouds of cotton. this always, without failure, grips me from wandering astray and puts me back to the peaceful surroundings and warm glowing atmosphere of goodness. when one is caught in the middle of this buzzing joy, how could they by any means, be pondering a departure? i ask myself this question many times a day, but i fear not the answer knowing well that there is no threat of my leaving this universe and it's warm embrace.
everything in sight was brought here by some means greater than my imagination could ever dream up. this is why i hold dearly, all things that lie in front of my eyes, never underestimating the priveledges that i was given and realizing that they can be taken away at the drop of a pin. all senses are a gift to humanity and are a trip in themselves. for these five joys are what life is all about and should never be taken for granted.
SIGHT: you awaken from your slumber to the visionof rays of light gleaming off the morning horizon catching your eyes with a glimmer in every inch of refraction. you spring out of bed feeling alive and full of love as you peek through your blinds at the sky so full of reds and oranges and purples and blues. there is no need to flip on your light switch as your entire room has been overtaken by the glorious shine of devinity. you're at peace with the world in knowing that your precious gift of sight and ability to envision such beauty is still in tact.
HEARING: your alarm clock sounds moments after you've awoken, but to your dismay the repetitive sound of the daily awakenings has caught your ears just right this morning clicking perfectly with the rythm of your body. never before has this sounded so lovely. you hear the sound of the birds' usual means of communication and it sounds so crisp and serves as a perfect reminder of the beauty of nature and all things living under the sun and the moon. as you walk out the back door you hear the river running with such ease as the cool clear water glides around every rock with an almost artful means of transportation. you count your blessings for the gift that is your hearing.
TOUCH: you wander further from your home into the large empty fields. endless supplies of soft breezes rush by to be sure that you are kept calm and relaxed. every step that you take has that fresh feeling as you're still familiarizing yourself with the surroundings of a new day. the grass under your feet tickles with every movement toward a new destination. a floating ball of fuzz from a wilting dandelion has made it's way onto your path as you brush it away by instinct. today, however, it's chosen to land on your nose tickling you as you brush your soft hand along the contour of your face to relieve yourself of such a soft ticklish sensation. again, you thank your lucky stars for being given the gift of touch.
SMELL: as you brush away the soft ball of cotton, you let out a sneeze, cleansing your sinuses of all obstructions as the rush of euphoria made it's way through your system. you take in a deep breath, bringing with it that joyous feel of a new day. the scent of pollen makes it's way to you as you inhale deeper to injest it all. the air is overcome with an overwhelming hint of freshness and cleanliness when you take it all in for that delightful feeling of just being alive. you look to the sky and hold your head high into the air as you realize how truely lucky you are to have still not lost this wonderful ability to decipher each distinct fragrance.
TASTE: you reach down to the flowers that are lighting your visions with brightness. the bees have left, for you, a slight film of honey as you run your finger through the sweet nectar and place your finger into your mouth to better understand life as a whole. the sweet taste has fulfilled your need to finish the circle as you breathe in a sigh of relief for the simple fact that you are alive. as you take that deep breathyou let in all remaining aspects of your day as the particles of the earth's warm dew nicely moistens your taste buds reminding you how much of a joy the simple sense of taste is. you shout out in joy just to be holding each of these gifts so close to your heart so as to never let them cease to flow with the rythm of your heartbeat. you are at peace with the universe and put to use all of it's gifts to better understand how special they really are.
