Live Life Large

Live Life Large
Drink deeply of life, sipping all of its flavors
Enjoy the precious moments as they sparkle and shine
Shine you must
Dance when the wind comes
As autumn twirls its gold red leaves, jump in and twirl too
Lift your arms up to a cornflower blue sky and wave hello
Daydream in a green field of jewel toned wild flowers
Dream you must
Sigh with your old friend the moon as he winks and twinkles at you
Gaze at the stars as they glow in indigo night.  Make a wish and keep it close
Embrace the seasons as they fly by, each one more colorful than before
Embrace you must
Taste the first snowflake as it floats on down from the slate grey sky
Taste you must
Breathe in the crisp cool air and delight in day as winter paints it a snowy white
Drink, Shine, Dance, Dream, Sigh, Gaze, Embrace, Taste, Breathe and live life in the largest way
You must!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
