Alive

^*++*^

By Colleen WaltersPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

wings flutter

heart beat

with fresh blood

bright red, oxygenated

with hope and love

freedom

coursing through

flaccid veins

startled, now dilated

shoring a wild river

each potent beat

I saw an

exuberance

I sensed a heart

full of love

and loved beyond

measure

I heard

a voice

bubbling over

with excitement

you wanted me to

to see what

you were seeing and

for the first time

I saw you free

a symphony

ethereal synchrony

pulse of a life

awakened

proof of life

soared upward

toward the heavens

angels' song

abruptly hushed

bend an ear to hear

a new song of

spirit's revival

they capture every note

and begin singing

heavenly choir

lifting notes drifting

up from the

realm between

heaven and earth

a feather floats slowly

to the ground.
