With my eyes wide open.

I enjoy being alive. What more can I ask of life? Than to feel a vibrant pulse beat.  I’m up now. Watching the coming of dawn. Yes, sunset in reverse. I’ve watched many more sunsets than sunrises. I can’t remember my first sunset. Bu I remember a sunrise. I must have been 3 or 4 years old. In bed. When darkness suddenly became light. In the snap of  snap of the fingers. And I was astounded. Telling my mother. That I had seen the actual coming of a new day.  For the first time.  With my eyes wide open. --Jim Broede
