Live life beautifully


 


Starring at the beauty

The lifeless image stuck in time

Wishing for a life that beautiful

The worries of life distantly fading

Feeling your soul come through out of the darkness

Walking and wishing never to return home

And leave this beauty


 

Step by step getting closer to the end

Which is where we leave this majestic place

Side by side, soul by soul, heart by heart

A pair of gloves STUCK

But not lifeless

Starring down a puddle that had reflected the spirit in which we live

Questioning myself “will it happen”, “will it not”

 

The obvious fear of commitment

“Is this the time”, “is this the place”

My stomach clenching,

My palms sweating,

My heart beating 100 times faster

Then the break comes

I do it, pull it out and ask her

The answer comes out, “ yes”

 

My soul is re-leaved

The tension built up empties

the night becomes silent once more

And peace with myself comes about

No worries, no stress

And the night settles
