Alive

To be alive what pleasures do we have?
In time life will be great. To wait we have been forgiven.
Do not turn away from all that makes you what you are.
Then you shall be gifted. But to see with eyes of stone is no better.
Ask, what is happiness?
No answers at hand but only answers that make no difference.
Life is great but we still live in misery.
We give up on many things without the thought of coming together again.
Life is no fool. why are we so confused?
Look within yourself.
Do not deny what you find for this is your essences.
If you do you will never be complete.
Absorb what it offers and you will be one.
Remember your past but do not live in it,
For it only offers things chosen to be forgotten.
Cannot challenge your mind for you will be lost.
It controls more then you know.join it.
Seek what it needs and accept the vision it instills upon you.
Learn what life offers you. let it teach you the way to peace.
