There are days
when life is full of such beauty
and wonder
and everyone, everything is perfect as it is
and comfort is found in every face
every smile
every laugh, and frown, and warm hand
are like warming fires
the caress of sand
the bite of the breeze
the glistening eyes of every person who is unafraid
for there is no fear
no worry
all will go on, in the end
when the hatred
and mistreatment
and utter lack of caring for anyone or anything
is like death
creeping
asking would you like to join us?
what else have you to do?
where else have you to go?
who else must you try to be?
before you see that despite the effort
you will fail
and fall, lifeless
to the ground where you belong
as flesh
all will go on, in the end
when life is nothing more
than everything you believe it to be
and nothing less
than eveything you believe it not to be
and you decide
okay
