eternally ephemeral [ poetry & prose ]

A Blessing

And you don't know
what you're searching for
until it's right there
in front of you

And it's a startling strike
a sudden jolt of a moment
your mind whispering
the words your heart feels

It's a whisper of a breath
of the winds caressing
the leaves of a tree
the cool air making
the strands of your hair
dance in the air and
the soft warmth
of the sun kissing
your skin

An alluring awakening
their presence
the final stroke
of a brush against
you, an artwork
and you feel
the feeling of
integrity coursing
through the veins

And upon meeting them
the state of feeling completed
a breathlessly beautiful blessing.
