Feeling.

I can feel the whole universe right now

Buzzing under my skin 

I can feel the inner workings 

The greater creation going on 

Flowing through my bloodstream 

I can feel my nervous system 

Connecting my body to the cosmos 

I can feel it all 

I can feel an eternity of light and dark 

The infinite space between 

Being breathed into my lungs

I can feel all of the consciousness 

Intensifying my emotion

Integrated into my cells 

Each life a part of me 

And yet, here I lay 

My ordinary life 

And yet, so extraordinary 

I love it all.

A sensational poem, Eric. I read it twice, the ending brings the spectacular into the ordinary. The words flow, bringing the reader into the experience. Bravo!
