Awakening

AWAKENING

I stood in the green, green grass
Unaware, and my mind a void
When I felt a breeze spring up
Like a gentle kiss across my skin
And almost like a surprise gift
Filled my head and also my heart
With bounteous hope and love
Such that I never had felt before
Awakened, leaving despair behind
Yet unclear who or what to thank
My purpose as a sharpened blade
Now pointing in a new direction
In gratitude, I thank the breeze

Thank you. After submitting I noticed that the contest required verse. Oh well, let it float out there anyway Howard
