The tare at lungs,

A gasp for a breath,

Too quick in a moments haste,

A salty familiar taste in my lung,

The sea it clustered, and it stung,

A weightless feeling as I sank,

A timid, closed, erupted tearing,

I open my eyes to see a leaf is fleeting,

Picked by wind in indentured adventure,

A world tour of everything to see,

A plunge into deep creviced of valleys,

And stood atop a mountain goat,

Peculiar and head tilt in victory,

A beam of light as it simmered his coat,

Proud and unprecedented,

Another turn and a look into a thickened forest of Oak,

Surrounded by the sounds of all that crawled and groped,

Hoot and flaps of wings,

Echoed calls to loved ones,

A howl  to all the lost ones,

Chirps and knocks of wood as a new day unlocks.
