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

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
