things are picking up
i feel it in the winds
they knock things down
only to better replace them
in my core
i feel a rush
beaming in the center and then spreading out
surging through my body
like breaching the surface of water
deep breath
and it subsides
slowly
slowly
like a leaf
sitting calmly
on a lazy river
in the middle of a warm summer day
a girl sits at the bank of the river
thinking life's a bummer
until she picks it up
pulls it from the water
it splashes at her feet
golden yellow with brown specs
a long stem and wounded edges
holding it up to the sun
translucent golden viens
light radiating from the center and spreading out
hazy rays falling off the edges
she holds it close to her chest
takes a deep breath
and the realization is becoming more clear
slowly
slowly
like a lazy river
in the middle of a warm summer day
things are picking up
