Life Is Beautiful
It's amazing how quickly a mind can heal
A not so distant memory that I will never be able to forget
But this unwelcome intruder no longer has the ability to cut me to the bone
My brain wonders how someone could be in this much pain
And still keep on living, breathing, sobbing
My heart never allowing me to surrender
Barely acknowledging the pain
Reminding me that fear is relative
And one day we all must die
So why worry about the inevitable
A life is better lived without the fear of what will be
A mind wide open curiosity in over abundance
This is who I am
This is the life I have been given
Mistakes there's been many
Regrets only one
I have finally forgiven myself
A feet I thought impossible such a short time ago
But there is something I have rediscovered in this magical place surrounded by mountain As I sit here gazing at a lake that is an impossible color of blue
Surrounded by wildflowers so many different colors
You feel as if your walking through some artists favorite painting
My breath catches and a single thought escapes
Life is beautiful
