Sitting here going through things on my computer since I’m getting a new one and found this poem that I wrote over a year ago. I look back at how much has changed from last year. The person I used to be is now gone and i’m still growing and finding myself here in a new state. The days are definitely lonely, without friends, family and familiarity of a place i’ve lived almost my whole life. Can’t believe it’s been a year.

Clouds drift in
creating a soft haze over the green valley
My mind drifting like the clouds,
My thoughts flowing with the gentle breeze
The smell of purity through the air as the roses bloom,
creating a rainbow of colors across the hills.
A gentle rain starts to fall kissing my skin ever so lightly
The grass damp beneath my feet as I walk,
tickles my toes
Walking with the rain still lightly showering my now wet body,
enjoying the cooling of the early night air.
Through the haze he approaches me,
his body seeming to float amongst the clouds.
his hand reaches out to me and my body yearns,
for the warmth of his hand in mine.
Our feet feel light, as if we are lifting off the ground,
As the waves of emotion from his touch bring me into another state of consciousness,
both of us lost,
Drifting around the clouds but never losing touch of one another
