Fleeting but forceful , she enters and leaves but the time spent and the feelings felt stay. They linger on to change me into someone better, more open to happiness and pain, ready to experience all that is around without the tyranny of the walls we all build to protect but also estrange us. All the wonderful and painful things, people, places, the moments that we have and will have, come closer and I feel them warming me, gently touching me. I feel them around, encircling and making me happy to be here, alive, to live and have lived, make me want to stay and spend more time in this wonderful place where there is so much to lose and so much to gain.
