I taste the light on my face
My skin warm in the streaming rays
Shifting patterns of colors
Lavender and licorice
Strawberry sparkles
Mocha motes floating
The world shifts endless
Beaming new flavors of sunlight
Where the shadow crouched in ashes
Taste of dust on chapped lips
Parched peculiar
Partially petrified
Where words entombed upon this tongue
Desert dry
Still drowning
Finally found a well
Well watered
Buckets up and emptied
Primed and powered from the deep
The darkest, coolest
Stone lined cistern
There I drank experience and woe
There I drank regret and wisdom
All my senses opening
The world is streaming into me
All these brand new flavors
Drifting on the sunbeams
I soak them in each open pore
Grow taller in this tasteful light
Yesterday is far
Tomorrow can’t arrive
Larger in the moment
Then the blue perpetual sky
Close your eyes and see
Close your eyes and taste
This light
