The Space Between Lightning & Thunder

They tell me
To live life to the fullest
To skydive
To bungee jump
To run through the streets of a foreign city
But when they come home
They never sit
And smell the rain
After a sunshower
Or watch the clouds change shape
Or the sun
Shining through a swaying tree
On a quiet afternoon
So while they’re running through
The streets of their life
I’m sitting here
Spacing it out
Enjoying the little winks
Of nature
Appreciating
Life just as it is
Uncomplicated
And free
