I can taste it’s sweetness on my lips
the air breathed on me I kiss
Opening my eyes to a vibrant world
colors more brilliant than I remembered
Golden hues, blues so blue
greens filled with life anew
Bright yellow warms my soul
red beyond brilliant & control
I breathe in deep
the smell so sweet
it slips from my view
like dropping in the ocean a precious jewel
it’s not mine yet
I have yet to attain it
Freedom is just beyond my grasp
I just have to reach out & take it
