The Stages of Life MAG
October 29, 2012
I walked easily
Without feeling the wind
Or hearing my feet
Until my lungs exhaled
I sped up
Without wondering why
Or even questioning it
Until my lungs expanded
I ran
Without stifling the impulse
Or letting the pain show
Until my lungs stretched wide
I fell
Without losing my balance
Or crying out in surprise
Until my lungs began to crack
I felt the ground
Without doubt or anger
Or guilt or jealousy
Until my lungs exploded
