the union of elements

a window opened and i took a breath in
it was exhilarating and exhausting all in one.
i now have moments to explore for a definite time
many say to live in each moment and i try.
the mind is so crowded, it is difficult to hold the spectacular
and truly see it for all it's splendor.
so i learn backward as a child knows
that simply being, is in itself sublime.

a window opened for brand new eyes
it is the miracle that we all take for granted.
i am awe struck again and this moment i can embrace
life in it's spirit and that moment of now.
this wonder and hope is humanity's solace
in contrast to plastic and rapacity.

the power of pure intent is not a fleeting trait
it holds the key of greatness.
the union of elements manifest
on each simple instance of selfless giving.
