Accept the highs with the unexpected lows
the mere reality of how life goes...
I wonder what truly happens
The instant we leave this earth...
My breath escapes me
As the rivers steady flow...
The darkness of the night
Coupled with a bonfire so bright...
Earnest love, why must you do this to me?
Taxing every single fiber of my being...
In the wee hours of the night
Is when the soul takes flight...
