I'm so tired of writing
with the same old theme...
I mean, sure the world
can be cruel and dark,
leaving little bites all over the body,
But that's not all; there's more.
Whether you accept it or not,
there are times when life can be
pleasant, gentle, and lovely...
Like in the early dawn of winter
mornings when the red sun
rises from its sleep over the hills.
Like standing beneath the huge
open sky as the clouds
just float by and they are mighty.
Like when summer rains wash away
the office-life from your
senses and you jump into each puddle.
I want to just sleep beneath the
stars of brilliance, upon
a blanket of cool green grass.
Look through captured moments
of joy and light on the
faces of loved ones in photographs.
Stand on the shore of an ocean
and listen to the waves
before you leap into the blue.
Take a walk across pink deserts
and dance along with the
sand winds and old prickly cacti.
Life is just waiting for us all to
take hold, and it's time
to get up, wipe the rust from skin.
For those who think they've lived,
it's only the beginning,
so keep living with young light.
And to the faulty, lost in life;
no worries my friend,
you will be found and embraced.
Keep in memory the old and
put forth the young,
it's time to open our eyes...
feel the dawn of tomorrow
raise comfort within your soul,
and step out into a new day.
