When I Lived

An Ode to Life.

When I stood atop the highest hill, O, I lived. Smelling the succulent scent of sweet lavender. And the taste of freshness swooping into my mouth.

When I sat under the forest trees, O, I lived. Silently listening to the crickets sing summer songs. As I watch the nights stars sparkle in the sky.

When I swam in the Indian ocean, O, I lived. Feeling the waves smother my skin with a smooth caress. As the suns shine shimmers on the waters wealth.

When I cycled along the river banks, O, I lived. Hearing the beautiful birds blissfully chirping secret sounds. And the well-earned sweat slipping down my cheek.

When I woke in the mornings breath, O, I lived. Remembering the thoughts of yesterday. And the plentiful possibilities of today.

When I wake in the morning, O, I live.
