"Christiania"

A poem I felt inspired to write based on one particular experience I had while studying abroad.

Climbing up a hill to nowhere
Yet feeling certainty in the destination.
Everything is right and beautiful
As I scan my eyes across the horizon,
Because I know that once I come down
I will never be the same again.

Raft's drifting, aimless sunshine
Bittersweet berries
Shirt soaked with sweat, skin alight in the sun;
No time for needs,
No need for time.

Trust and feel this presence;
That whether it seem real or not,
We are experiencing it together.

Late afternoon sunshine
And flower-sprinkled paths,
Embrace this momentous occasion
And feel triumph in capturing delicacy.
