Restitution

The summer scene So blissful and serene A bright sun shines Over baby-blue skies Upon a mountainous view Bringing pleasure to my eyes It’s great to be alive! Breathe in the air Feel a surge inside As it flows through Something beyond compare There is no way to describe There is no way I can share What I am telling you It is the accomplishment More like personal gain To rise above all of “it” From a cesspool of names Once achieved, rest with ease Begin to enjoy the summer breeze Hear the birds singing in the trees Swaying to the song of peace I am free! I am free! Free at last to be The one that never had the chance To finally succeed! Can you see? Can you see! There is no more “you and me” Long and treacherous the road has been To the salvation I now receive True happiness is rarely achieved Far and few for many Now at the pinnacle of my life I am fully restored and ready - Boz -

Love the upbeat nature of this poem, Jackie, and seeing that if we make "restitution," we can see the world so positively. Reaching that "pinnacle" can be an arduous, life-long task, but look at the rewards! Amazing poetry, Boz! Love, Carolyn
