Once Upon A Lifetime

The soft moist grass over the vast undulating hillside looks rich, green and nourished. A certain calmness is derived from its radiance as it appears to dance and frolic amidst a fresh new daybreak that awakens it so visually.

I hope to be there one day, perched atop that serine, as the cool gentle breeze sweeps my brow and the struggles of daily existence become nothing more than a distant memory.

"Forever young" they tort as one battles with the guise of age, of petulance and greed, but I will not despair as I have my health, for now at least. I have my health, my lover and my special place.

I ponder an after-life and wonder if it too per chance maybe this place in my mind that I retreat or if it is truly just an eternity. Once upon a lifetime, I would have buried the great unknown, buried it in a glass of red and braved forth nonchalant but alas, no longer.

For now I feel of purpose and sprit, I have restored faith in my being and I shall continue on despite all the knocks and falls, the cursed jealousy and whim.

I feel as a caterpillar into a butterfly or a young cub into a lion, now I feel purpose and my purpose is clear.
Finally, I feel once again, I am me.
