Faith is not one to be left in a church.
It should be carried wherever you go
like a suitcase in your heart.
I can thrive in the country
and bountifully in the sea
I can sustain myself in the city,
no matter how treacherous it can be
Because it is no enough just to coexist,
No, it is not enough just to live...
I want to suck the marrow of Life
Ceremoniously,
I want to drink the elixir
Wildly,
I want to kiss Love itself,
Passionately,
I want to sing the glorious Faith
Infinitely,
I want to experience every possible thing,
Fiercely!
I want to be able to say
"I have LIVED, really lived!"
I have pushed myself to the zenith of every emotion,
and climbed to the top of every phenomenal feeling
and swam in the deepest of seas and smoothest rivers
And felt the Heart's halting static-
that can only be created by a contrast
of temperatures and memories and surfaces
All. At. Once.
I have eaten 1,000 peaches in a lifetime
with all the passion I could imagine
Feeling, savoring every sip...
But still know the moment I eat a peach
in the Kingdom of Heaven I will say
"I have never eaten a peach before."
So just imagine how good everything else will be.
Hallelujah!
