Alive and Well
This morning as I walked
I closed my eyes
turned my face into the wind
swept along in an invisible ocean of exultation
suddenly, I knew I was alive...
Some people I knew are not
I loved them
they have become ghosts inside of me
this is how i keep them alive
sometimes pain lets you know you are alive...
I see love, feel some love
romantic, so romantic
love, then will surely rise
to appear in front of me
I am alive when others are not
I am here for a purpose...
If you are reading this
congratulations, you are alive
that's something to smile about!
