Do we know?

Do you know how it feels to cast a line of shame and catch grace? Or how beautiful we look when we fall from our pedestal or how freeing it is to watch our mistakes washed away with the sands of time? When you call out and only silence catches your words how touching it is to be still and when the restless chatter of tomorrow is brought to a halt with the laughs of the present how great it is we can smile? Do we know what is to be forgiven or free from chains of success or laugh at our missteps or be consumed by what it is to be alive NOW.
