Overbearingly Sentimental

I am overbearingly sentimental.
Everything must have life,
everything must breathe air.
Memories, trees, rushing water,
even wind, invisible as she is.
Even the specks of dust
that catch in the light
seeping through cracks in the window.
Even the creeks,
even the brooks,
even the spines of my books.
All of it must be more
than mere existence.
Everything must know touch.
Everything must know love.
Even the creaking swings
on the playgrounds I grew up on,
even the blades of grass
that kissed my small fingers
by the dugout.
Everything.
Everything must feel.
