“Untitled” 18

17 July 2020

To live, to breathe

To be ultimately free

To feel the beat of my feet

On asphalt underneath

Fields of green, cows in pasture

My eyes delight in utter rapture

Unfurl mine wings, flutter faster

Fill my lungs with air, with laughter

And when I breath my final breath

When I go to meet that solemn death

I hope I have the heart to say

“Today I lived, I seized the day.”
