live

it felt like nothing could hold me back 

in fact I felt free 

eyes closed 

as the wind and my hand meet 

feeling all of me 

serenity 

it flowed through my body

as the world awakened  

parts of me 

a new world 

my own

one I could finally call home 

but i was a traveler at heart 

its like my mind went on vacation 

so I began to lose track of time 

I learned to ride the waves that is life 

spontaneity 

my go to orders 

became unfamiliar to me 

willing to take a risk and indulge 

in anything that excites me 

new places  

new conversations 

it all enlightened me

new memories flooded 

different cities 

a new film 

directed by and starring me 

I listened to the inner me

I stopped doing and started being 

filled my soul with all there is 

to not just exist 

but to live
