Taste Buds

Taste buds awakening
After falling fast asleep
They sparkle and flicker
Like a candle light
In the night
Not inside
Outside
In that wide open space
There's still such
Vast places to explore
Yet the immediate surroundings
Are coming alive to the eye
It's a spacious place
New and clean
Awaiting fresh discovery
This fragile body
Slowly moving along
To full recovery
How small I am
Within all creation
Yet just as each taste bud
Quickens to life
So I am alive
To live fully and completely
In the pleasure
Of God.
