everything comes alive with the first rays of sunlight
wet drops of dew slowly slide down blades of grass
tree branches stretch out as if yawning
flowers sway gently in the wind
birds chirp as if to say “good morning, how are you?”
a squirrel pokes his head out of a tree branch examining his surroundings
a turtle sticks it’s limbs out of his shell and begins crawling toward the light
everything comes alive with you
for the world has no existence apart from you
by your word the sun shone forth
land was formed with oceans spanning in between
animals roamed from the heights of the mountains to the depths of the sea
while birds soared in the skies above
and mankind emerged from the dust
everything comes alive inside of me
a million images flash before my eyes
thoughts leap around inside my head
blood pulses beneath my skin
hairs stand upright on my arms
my chest contracts with every breath
water forms in the corners of my eyes
