Live your Life
Walking in my garden,
where the flowers' petals pulse
with my heartbeat,
and the trees' leaves sway
with my breath,
I notice a large, gloomy flower
that has petals of foreboding black
sitting at the very distant end
of the path by which I walk.
I feel a chill run down my spine.
That is the inevitable end of my path?
All this time I had walked so briskly,
so eager to reach the next section
of my garden.
Pangs of regret fill my heart--
but then the color of the flowers radiate
and the warm breeze brushes my hair
as I realize:
Sabrina, you aren't there yet.
Around me the flowers still pulse
and smile as, for once, I stop
and actually look at them.
