Hour glass sands settle,
The time seems slower,
But the seeds of life are still here.
Memories flutter in my head,
Dreams of life when it was real,
Not dead as I have made it.
I look at the sky and wonder,
Why can I not hold onto the life I deserve,
And suddenly I remember I can.
This life has been here before me,
I just have not taken it,
I have been living so false,
I have been living so forgetful,
As I have been living with regret,
In the isolation I have become so accustomed,
But that desire to live in my heart,
Burns, and it still burns.
Lord, I am not ready for those embers to go out,
Lord, I know I can make it if I tried.
I know I can defeat this loathing,
I know that I can live.
To enjoy the life you have given to me.
Texas sunset,
A beautiful sky light painting,
The world is now in living color.
Life is so true,
Life is so alive.
So I will live this,
I will fight this day for day,
Until I am flying over every sunlit day,
Enjoying the waves in the oceans crash,
Enjoying the winds in my hair.
Drifting with the seasons instead of away,
And I will value the creation given unto me,
For life is the biggest gift,
Of all mankind.
I want to live it. |
