| A Gift
by girl_can_run at 10/20/2009 8:42:15 PM
A strange non-linear sensation
Unknown mind dimension
Shutters bursting midst a storm
A realization that up till then
Life lived through tunnel-vision.
To feel the bubble finally pop
But retain the iridescence inside
To watch the rain clouds dissipate
But keep the rainbow 'gainst a blue sky
One simple selfless gesture, a gift
Can bring this revelation to life.
Having walked blindly along rock-bottom
Trudged dutifully through despair
It takes a happy cry of gratitude
To feel tears of pain, unknowingly there.
To cry the tears, to dehydrate the grief
To heal and to fill back up
To open eyes to vivid life
To be unafraid to drink again from the cup
Overflowing water into wine
All of this from a simple gift
And a little bit of time.
Aged by wisdom, a fine vintage
Yet unscarred, untainted,
Still pure of heart, unjaded and untinged
With mind and vision newly reborn
Rainbows now incandescent
Wine sweeter, love deeper
Keeping the window open after the storm.
