The pull to emerge became so urgent.
Every cell of my being ready to break through soil.
To dance in the waves of wind,
To feel ablaze in the warmth of the sun,
To be coveted by the bee,
To know the caress of a raindrop and fury of a storm.
To be glorious in this moment,
As if it were every moment.
Brimming with radiant light,
Shining in a field of countless others,
“I exist,” “I exist,” delighted to exist.
