A Life

My eyes are uncovered after hours of darkness
I feel a rhythm inside that energizes my body from head to toe
That energy powers up the generator behind my eyes to give me thoughts
Those thoughts remind me to take a deep breathe that inflates my lungs
Those thoughts are given to me and my lungs is full of air because my memory
I am now awake
I am now alive
I am given a gift
The gift of being alive after my eyes are uncovered after hours of darkness.
