Analysis of I’m So Lucky
I’m so lucky
To be here
Alive!
Cherish this moment
Sipping this drink
Gulping a bite
Eyes eat up action
Whispering noises
Breeze against my cheek
Rejoice
Smile as taste buds are jubilant
Anxious to share
This very moment
With you
With friend, twice celebrated
My mind stuffed
Filled with pleasure
Appetite just right
Tease for more
This is the innocent void
Simple thought
Heartbeat of freedom
Of now –
Is what I see, I feel, no pain?
Oh yes, life’s price
No thought of whining
At peace – few complaints
Flashes of love, the sensual
To gently touch you, stroke you
Hold you – ravish you
Here – now
With curtain drawn
Yes, facial muscles completely relaxed
In silence – I am so lucky
So rapt – I want all to stand still
In a picture frame of happiness
Inhale the spirit of this moment
Euphoric, physical, self-satisfied
Until someone suddenly interrupts:
Angrily, quizzically “Did you know?
There is a bloody war out there?”
