Expansive

Eyelids peel away 

Pupils enlarge 

Neural synapses open 

Air slips in my veins 

Blood stream widens 

Each cell breathes new energy

My heart beats faster 

More expansive 

Yet focused on what matters 

Well-developed thoughts 

Faster in time 

Contemplative in nature 

Well-being laced

I’m euphoric 

With eternal unrest eased 

Here, the time flows less agonizingly 

With my increased engagement across life

And feelings of invincibility 

I even feel an urge for connection…

Feel excitement for the mystery…

Excitement for the opportunities…

I’m excited again

Your poem builds its emotions, line and phrase from start to finish. Your last line is joyful, hopeful and somehow - courageous! ' I’m euphoric .. .. With eternal unrest eased '

[Thomas W Case]

Fantastic work. You make this come alive.
