The chosen ones

For the likes of us
who are hijacked by the imaginary ,
who are always elsewhere ,
in the high tides of a troubled ocean ,
in the raging fires of a secluded forest ,
in the red that breaks in the sky before sunset ,
I have this to say ,
wherever you are , celebrate your life
to the fullest ,
you are the chosen one ;
not everyone is gifted
these rare , priceless
intimacies with
the wonder that is nature .
