Soon I Exhale

Etchings upon my heart, so profound in time These hues, colored so bright, bringing out an array of light This love, in healing softened my existence and allowed me to trust Yet sad, as we parted for the differences were evident and pained; pained by the physical was he, as I would watch him sleep curled up in a fetal, his hidden small frame Today, no evidence of the cancer, and I thank God for the blessings! I am not selfish, as he moved on to passionately live For he needed the things in which I could never provide Someone once said to me that they had a normal life and it might be a good thing to try Yet I find my travels amazing and the people I meet daily in life I smiled gently, as I refrained my opinions publically leaving them pacified that yet somehow, there was a bit of encouragement that they had left me For in this world filled with filth, money and greed among things It is something I've always refused to conform to really Sometimes I wonder about him, as I sleep on this life's pillow made of concrete For I know many struggles, yet I know the Lord is showing me The easy way is not always the best but the path less traveled enriches the spirit At times my flesh reeks of the sinful spoils, that I cannot deny.. Some look upon the stars and ponder great loves gone by Some think that true love will just fall out of the clear, blue sky! I say to you now, love is a verb, indeed, I know this to be so and sometimes after the valleys, our rotten fleshly ways I awake in the darkness, at dusk, awaiting the dawn to arrive In the silence, the wind caresses my skin and I remember a different time and I breathe in deeply to keep the moment that soon I will have to exhale, with a somber farewell, as my heart hopes for another moment in time, lest I am left with the depth in my soul to carry of loves tragic goodbye So, these lessons in life are sometimes blessings in disguise I know not, why God shows us the things he does each day I find peace, though I am much different than most, I know One day the Gallo may be requested for me, and my more than average, unconventional ways I merely ask for one thing, Please do not greet me with pity, along my passing way ~Someone said to me once, they had a normal life and it might be a good thing to try~
