Green Landing

My air filled lungs, again they exhaled a breath long since gone. It is that breathless exhale that comes with the finding of the stars. Oceanic waters, how long have I been aboard your seas, drifting beneath clouded skies. When constellations have meaning a sailor will chart his course! Clouds cleared and the stars led me to new shores.

Waters steady and even keeled, that simple wooden boat hit those crystal clear sands. Burning hot and yet still cold, the water pressed against me as I cleared myself onto surfaced shoals. Even with that first step, I felt a different touch. A dawn rose with morning and pressed its gaze upon seashores. These were familiar lands, and yet they appeared for the first time, beyond sight of night.

I climbed a hill upon the sun guided road, peppered with flowers white! La Monja Blanca how it reflects in this new found paradise. Memories of past shores wash away, like sand castles consumed with the landing of a wave. Such a wave, energy bright, I am consumed in this new feeling that flows easily, like destiny entwined, a tomorrow paved.

A voice so familiar it called to me from beyond a line of trees! And still in the familiar voice, a voice so real that touches me soft, like fingers brushing through my hair, it brushed away a hardening in my heart. Then her face, an epiphany brought to sight, melted my will in the passing of a single night. How long I’ve know that face, and still not known as I do now. All I want is to know it more, such beauty to my eyes bestowed.

As days passed into weeks, her words and face still are here, even still as I type and speak. Somewhere in my heart, a whisper grows into a shout, reverberating into an echo that puts “I love you’s” in my mouth. Here I stand upon New Lands, A New Zeal in my heart. Once I might have fought such feelings from the start, but here I am new chapters nigh, and I’m consumed by all the sparks.
