Recovery

open my eyes and feel
my life again in shafts of light
connect with heaven
in the freedom and truth of breath
I am here, alive, today
to know my life
is to touch and feel
the texture of a leaf
as dew channels along
the creases of a fingerprint
to hear water gurgling
as it channels through canal
just like me it flows
I smile and accept
what is meant to be
like a bird spreading its wings
I am awake today
