breathe in the joy
Sat in front of the media induced information blitz
Reading, watching, listening
Eyes unblinking
Eardrums thumping
Body rocking
Then
Broke free
Walked outside
Into
Thick hot air
Dimming still light
Quiet buzz of insects
Wisps of hair moving across my face
Grit of sand beneath my bare feet
I head back through the old clay pit
The pup between my steps
Running, running, running
Like me
Happy to be out
Lightening and thunder pinken the sky
Yellow grey clouds roll
Pine trees sway
The air is ripe for rain
For a moment I stand
Arms outstretched
Face to the heaven
And breathe in the joy
"MOM"
But only for a moment
Come on pup
We have to go
