Awaken

Churning, turning, twirly-whirly, dancing atop water, flying through space, nothing to stop me and everything to spark me. How long have I been dormant waiting for this explosion to erupt inside? How long has it been since I have forgotten who I am, who I once was? How long have I been sleeping?

Has some prince woken me from this slumber? Where has this prince been for so long? Has the time not been right for him to make his appearance? Or has destiny been up to her typical tricks? So my prince, what next? Are you ready for this intensity that you have stirred? Are you ready for the immensity of what this world has to offer; this space, this gap, this unknown with all the questions and intrigue, wonderings and delight, the smiles and the pure joy?

I feel me again; alive and buzzing, teeming with energy and creativity. I feel the connection to so many things. There are opportunities are abound, floating in the air, drifting like soap bubbles waiting to be grabbed and popped. The vigor hangs like over weighted fruit on the fruit trees that I planted so long ago. The seeds sown have blossomed before my eyes and are now gushing into bountiful pleasures that weigh down each and every limb.

I use the time to write and to open myself to unlimited discourse within myself and with others. I lust for conversations that feed my fervor, I yearn to dream with another, I ache for the intoxication of life but in all my independence and quest for freedom, and the enjoyment of being a loner, I wish I could share it. I wish I could thrive along side someone who sees me for me, who understands my oddity, who is intrigued with my thoughts, who appreciates and inspires me, who laughs with and at me and makes me grin. And to this person, wherever he may be, a thought for you:

Climb the trees, kick off your shoes and let the breeze tingle your toes in this season of crisp. Walk beside me and hold my hand, but not in a way that chokes. Chase rainbows with me, dream, explore, laugh with strangers, inspire me, and inspire you. Build sandcastles and watch the tide carry them to sea. Let diamonds sparkle upon us. Quench my thirst with your curiosity, your view of the world, your intrigue. Allow me to wipe tears and trace your smile. Trip through fields of daisies and fall down with me to watch the moon rise and stars beam.
