Love Every Drop

A cold crisp day
I feel a chill slice through the air
The sun electrifies the ends of my hair
The surface of my skin changing its texture to meet the wind

Here is where I find the desire
For a life lived to its best
Soaring upwards to fly the crest
Waves of pleasure, joy, happiness

The pool of water glimmers
Through the patient trees
Waiting, watching, at peace with all it sees
It speaks to something that glows bright within me

I know this place
It restores me
It reminds me
To savor the hours I am given, whether sweet or hard-bitten

With gratitude
I must fill this life made of fragile glinting glass
Fill it up to the very last

And
love
every
last
drop
