Tonight is a perfect night
heaviness in the air
with a faint tinge of wetness
I can smell the fallen leaves
the earthiness of life
There are no sounds
Just the distant hum of traffic
Clouds permeate the heavens
and a faint glow of the nearby
city, lights the eastern ceiling
My breathing is even and calm
I know only that I exist
in this beautiful realm
taking in the magnitude of life
that I can only admire
Feelings are liberated and lightened
knowing that the moment
is a point in time where
everything seems right
acceptance permeates
The air is still
I am still
happiness surrounds me
as I smell life's changes
at a point in my humanity
Imagining the beginning
Imagining the end
I am not alone
as I exhale the sweet
smell of life
