More Life Poem by Justin Aptaker

inexpressible longings
stirrings of breezes
tunes drifting on the currents, through my window
with the scent of the ionized nitrogen lighting air
and clouds, light and whispy, radiant gradients of color playing between
oh, how i long to be alive again
to be alive some more
more life
always and ever, my cry
more life, more life

the music is overwhelming me
with its beauty and gravity
and chemical peace transmitted neurologic
blood currents

the pain and fear and horror of being
the promise and hope
that faith portends
my body, my flesh
craving, lusting
burning
this fire is ever present

the fire of the spirit
is ever present
longing, begging, screaming
life
more life
