Take Time to Smell the Roses |
I long for Autumn
I don't know why
I see myself
in a whisper soft white gown
Curled up into a little ball
next to a warming fire
Laying on the pillow next to me
is a Red Red Rose
Its scent is beautiful and haunting
strange yet familiar
Scary yet comforting
Dew covers its petals
Dew covers its petals
Somewhere in
the cold, cold night
the wind is howling in the frigid void
I am snug and warm
It feels
like death, somehow
This quiet slipping into the unknown
You’re alone
Minding your own business
When there’s
a knock at the door
A dark shadow appears with its hand outstretched
It quietly presents itself to you
And....
In the blink
of an eye
Your whole world is transformed
What is life
but just one more miserable
Experience after another?
How many more blows must I endure
before
I am forced to give up?
Gone for
good?
No one can find me
Anymore because I am no longer here
My name has
been erased from the
Book of the Living
Only to be found
in
The Book of the Dead
But wait
Is this really what Life is all about?
This
constant pummeling of
Mind and body?
I say that
it is not so
A curtain is over our eyes
We know only
sorrow and sadness
When Happiness comes
We do not
recognize it
Take your beatings
And become
stronger, more sure of who you are
Where you are going
Because of them
Life is to be experienced
>Savored
>Revered
>Cherised
>Exalted
Not
necessarily will we understand
what is not meant to be understood
But You and
I are here
Make the
Most of this journey
Do something
Memorable, Grand, Good and Survivable
For all the rest who are destined to follow
