Back to Life

You feel hollow.
You feel dry.
You feel scattered.
You feel death.

Until you feel a breath
Blow over you.
It's the winds of change.
A breath of life.

The pieces of you that were once detached develop strong, sinewy connections.
It is an unfamiliar sensation....they have been isolated too long.
The extra attachments seem cumbersome at first, like excess baggage.
The parched pieces chaffing each other.

Until you feel them soften,
And saturate with life.
Until you feel the emptiness fill.
Until you feel whole.

And the breeze that teased
No longer blows over and through you.
It breathes into.
Back to life.
