An Opening (A Prose)

Marvelous is my experience of being alive in gasp in time.

Stunning are the bright yellow leaves delicately dancing in the wind.

Delicious is the earth I breathe in after a downpour of rain tenderizing the rich brown soil.

Enchanting are the towering redwood trees holding the secrets of the forest as the mist weaves through the quiet groves.

Bright is the gray sky clearing its canvas for the glowing sun to spread its light through the atmosphere.

The calm after the storm awakens all my senses and enriches the adventure of life.

Then I feel a tiny drop,

One, two, three, freckling my face.

And then a release.

And so the cycle repeats and I notice the dark and looming storm.
