To be able to feel is a blessing

I love the feeling when the sun finds my face

When the raindrops kiss my skin

When the cool breeze tickles my hair

When the mud on the ground squishes between my toes

When the cool flow of the river gently rushes past my ankles

The feeling of my heart expanding when I’m with the ones I love

The feeling of the heartbreak when I hear something I didn’t want to

The feeling of it mending when I hear a loving whisper

The feeling of the tears as they leave my eyes when I weep in happiness or sadness

The feeling of the bruises on my knees from the dance classes

The feeling of elation when I dance and my body flows

The feeling of a sting as a green ant protects itself

The feeling of my tastebuds as the food makes contact and my senses go wild

The feeling of laughter as I feel it bubble to the surface

The feeling of a sore jaw when that laughter just keeps going

The feelings that rumble through my body when I’m reading a book

Feeling.

Feeling is a blessing

It’s no longer a curse

I am blessed with the depth I am able to feel

And you will never convince me otherwise.
