Alive

The beauty never stops
Even when I close my eyes
The gleaming green grass glows
Through my eyelids
The wind wraps my hair across my face
Stroking my cheek 
The earth embraces my feet
Holding me 
From floating off into the sky
And when the dark shadows come
The flashes up from the void
That I dared peer into
I know I have lived
So much of the breadth of experience 
I am alive
