I want nothing more than this day.
I want nothing more than this:
the rays of hesitant sun on my back,
reminding me of the warmth of unencumbered joy;
the sound of waves greeting the shore,
bringing to mind the glorious beating of my heart;
the call of a gull despite the wind,
signifying that I, too, have a voice;
the fog, blocking my vision,
lest I forget how small I really am;
the friend sitting beside me,
showing me that I am never alone;
the stranger meandering by and by,
to shed light on all those I have yet to meet;
and the sand rising up between my toes,
reminding me that there is a time for everything,
even a time to be still.
How could I want more than this,
when it is by these shadows
that I know that I am truly alive
and that all things in life have meaning?
