The night is outstandingly beautiful...my heart melts and mixes with the lights splaying out over the water. Its all so perfect, the boats sitting in their relaxed haze for the evening breezes, the birds rocking to the silent lulliby of the water. The water. With every breath it rushes into my veins lingering in my heart, escaping only in the exuberant smile reaching to the stars thanking God for this moment and His perfect creations. Its like my body is on fire with the bliss raging serenely over my body; I can only tap my healed foot on the pavement to the beat of my happiness soaring out through the night owning itself, owned by no one but the honking, the dogs playing and the birds soaring along with me.
