Can you feel that?
The heart’s fluttering beat
that swells from within?
The bounce beneath your feet,
to ride a breeze and spin?
.
Do you see it?
Soft lips lift to a smile
on a tickled gaze.
The dancing down the aisle
to their own song ablaze.
.
Can you hear it?
The laugh like an ocean
filling rooms with glee?
Lyrics of emotion
and self, unabused, free?
.
Do you smell that?
On an after-rain stroll
and spring is still young;
Earth’s life kissing the soul
with new air in the lungs.
.
Can you taste it?
A bursting citrus buzz,
a freshly sweet rave?
The drool for more because
it is all one can crave?
.
Do you know it?
It is all around you,
do you heed the call?
Or are you a mind who
cannot leap? Then you fall.
