The Ecstasy of Life

So glad to be alive, not accountable for anything yet. Enjoying every moment, in the moment. I exist without time, electrified by sensation. My body raptures at the touch of your flesh, your breast spilling out its love. Still of the womb's curve, the earth's bow. Every sight and sound is new. I listen for your lulling voices, smile as you smile at me. I am the ecstasy of life itself. I will be a man when you are no more. I am the future hurling itself at your door.
