Remember. versions 1 and 2

Remember.
Remember what it feels like to
be free,
to lie in the grass while the sun
kisses you, while the wind
caresses you. Knowing you are
created
alive
loved
blessed as you close your eyes, breathing
in all of this life and you
sneeze. Oh! How
human you are, little one. How
wonderfully human

Remember?
Remember what it feels like to
be human?
To curse and hurt and cry and rage
at this, betrayal, pain so deep that
you are lost. lost
lost
lost until you find the courage
to weep
lost until someone holds
you close, weeps with you, your
head on their should and
you know
freedom.

**above is the rewrite as i lost the original, which i just found so here is the first one:

Remember.
Remember what it feels like to
be free.
To lay in the grass while
the sun kisses you, while
the wind caresses you and you,
you know you are
alive
created
loved
blessed as you sneeze into the grass.
How human you are little one,
how
wonderfully human.

Remember.
Remember what if feels like to be human.
To rage and curse and cray
against your insignificance, against
a pain and betrayl so terrible
you are lost. lost.
lost.
lost until someone
calls your name out of
love. out of love calls you
back as you cry into their shoulder
and are freed
