Expansive
Eyelids peel away
Pupils enlarge
Neural synapses open
Air slips in my veins
Blood stream widens
Each cell breathes new energy
My heart beats faster
More expansive
Yet focused on what matters
Well-developed thoughts
Faster in time
Contemplative in nature
Well-being laced
I’m euphoric
With eternal unrest eased
Here, the time flows less agonizingly
With my increased engagement across life
And feelings of invincibility
I even feel an urge for connection…
Feel excitement for the mystery…
Excitement for the opportunities…
I’m excited again
