i don’t remember how i felt like
when looking at the sky
for the very first time.
i’ve spent days, nights
weeks and months
thinking about the way
i perceived the endless universe above me.
i don’t know whether
it was all a fever dream,
a made up story by my young mind,
but no one will ever bring me back that smile.
that mind. those innocent thoughts.
i’ll hold onto them forever
locked deep down with the specifications
wrote on a piece of paper.
i can recall the moment
my feet touched the sand,
the waves came back and forth
to my hiding spots.
on the floor, my shoes knocked off,
still dancing when the music stopped;
i waited by the door
to meet whom i was looking for:
myself – wiser and older
with a glance i told her
first time i’ve ever felt alive
was seeing that outstanding performace live
blinding lights discovering my soul
leaving me behind with my heart-whole.
