when did you last see the sea

when did you last feel the breeze

these are the moments I live for

the slight of touch

the mist in the morning

the afterglow aftershock of the night before

when did you last laugh until you cried?

when did you last cry until you laughed?

these are pivitol moments

worth remembering

celebrating, commemorating, memorialising

to yesterday's wins, losses, bad days, holidays and high days

when did you last tough the sky

when did you last reach out and grab for the clouds, sun, moon and the stars

as I grow older, I want to stay grounded

less inclined to reach up

less inclined to reach out

than I should
