It Lives, it breathes

A Poem

I see, I perceive  
I live, I breathe 
Amidst the green 
Amidst the clear 
 
I walk, I stroll  
Colour bursts from soil 
Its beauty I hold dear 
 
I feel too much 
It makes no sense 
Full of ideas  
Of sentiments 
More than most 
It frightens them  
 
Something ancient  
Something true 
Resides in us, I witness it 
It lives, it breathes 
In all that is, in all that was 
I’m sensing it in you 
 
I cannot ignore it 
I try to bring it forth 
Resistance won’t do. 
It’s in the wind, the trees, the blue. 
I feel it in my palms, my feet, my heart. 
Mostly in my heart.  
 
I think it might be all of us. 
Together in some way. 
A collective surge of joy, of love  
That ebbs and flows and stays. 
 
I care for you, you care for me. 
It lives. It breathes 
Like ocean waves are stirred by storms 
My feelings are still, yet remain. 
 
I feel too much 
It makes no sense. 
It’s not normal these days. 
Love is tossed and thrown away 
Of very little consequence. 
I cannot love that way.
