{In celebration of National Poetry Month, I’ll be posting a poem each weekday through the rest of April, and I invite you to join me! Leave a link to your poem of the day in the comments section below.}
Some questions cannot be answered in words:
Why are you alive?
We can say: because my parents made it so
We can say: to make the world a better place
But there is something more
that can only be felt:
the wind tugging at your limbs, whispering in your ears
the song of air
the rhythm of water tumbling
the immediacy of a pumping heart
dancing the body into freedom
