I am the sun emerging out from behind a dark cloud,

rays beaming outwards, reaching across the vast sky.

I am the excitement on the surface of a deep lake,

and the constant movement of currents rolling up onto a pebbled shore.

I am the fire in your belly, the irrepressible outpouring of a forgotten force.

I am the warm depth of subtle palpitations from a textured underworld.

I am the glow in the horizon and the breeze that brushes across your face.

Known and unknown,

simple and complicated,

unmoving and in motion,

a whisper and an exhalation.

Something difficult to catch, but once grasped -an indispensable deliberation.

Comforting as the cool sheet on a hot night

and the humor that catches you mid-swallow from an unexpected direction.
