Flood

Everything returns. The energies that flowed through my veins but were frozen in winter winds thaw; blood rushes to my every cell, overwhelming my senses in words and visions and fireworks. The overflow bursts in tears out of my eyes but I force them down, let them fly out as laughter from my mouth instead. I smile at strangers in the streets and haven no intention of stopping. Fear may have held the seams of your skin together when the world was cold and cruel.

But the sun is here, now.

I am not afraid, of anything.
