Floating

By Josie Woosnam

I close my eyes and suddenly become aware of so many things I had never noticed before

The way my heart beats in my chest

The touch of the cold floor beneath my body

The air that fills my lungs on every inhale

The wind that dances through my air

The smell of warmth filling my nose

And for a single moment

I am no longer in my body but outside of it

I lay there in the stillness and just float

Waiting for someone,

Anyone to notice
