The Abundant Life

28 April 2013

You inspire me to breathe in

at the end of the day

when loads have me suffocate.

You fill my lungs

and make your way to my brain,

so I can think sensibly.

What you breathe saves lives...

It's too underestimating to realize.

Your abundance encourages me to give,

unconditionally.

My aspiring example.

My gratuity at its peak.

You set the standards

for raw generosity. 

This admiration I have with you

falls short of a love story,

because you are

seasonal and ever-changing.

Somewhere along the way,

I found you---

after each equinox,

before each solstice.

I found you,

shedding your colors to the world.

Some time before the setting sun

and after the rising light,

you stood, bathing---

roots embracing me

from the ground.

Basking,

you still stand,

reaching out to life.

Somewhere between Earth and Mother Nature,

there you were,

boldly.

Here you are,

flourishing.

You make your mark on me.
