this life
i am not placed on the earth to focus on it’s errors.
i am not here to listen to the rain, to watch it gather in puddles at my feet.
i am here to dance under those grey clouds and let my hair get wet
to embrace what this life has given me, to embrace the fortunes of which i’ve been blessed.
i am placed on this earth to spread love as far as mountains wide,
to let the snowflakes melt on my lashes.
to embrace, enjoy, and accept
to live this life as if everyday, every moment, every glance and every whisper,
could go at any second,
because it can.
to realize the warmth of a hand, the strength of standing up for what you believe in
and the power of a smile.
