Alive for Now.
Alive for Now.
In the quietest of
Still moments
In the perfect silence
Between one breath
And the next
I become aware
That I am alive
When I watch
The dawn break
Like a wave
Over the darkness
And shadows
I take a moment
To remember
That I am alive
Sometimes when
A stranger
Bumps into me
Or our eyes lock
And we both smile
We see each other
In the reflection
Of another
And we tell the other
Without any words
That we are both alive
I let myself feel hunger
I let myself enjoy the pain
I loose myself in love
And sometimes
I take things too far
I say what no one
Ever dares to say
I laugh out loud
And I learn from
My mistakes
Because I need to feel
Alive
I don’t know any other way
To feel
Alive
It all comes crashing in
At the strangest of times
Taking hold of every
Fiber that creates
A reality that seems
So very real
While shaking the core
Of the heart
And the soul
With a simple truth
That
I am alive
It sneaks in
Unsuspected
And unexpected
But there is no way
To deny
Or stop the progression
Once the journey
Has been started
There are more emotions
And feelings to be felt
Because
This is what it means
To live and to be
Alive
As much as it seems
Like this should be
A comfort
Or that this thought
Should bring security
It can be scary to face
The knowledge that
Our stories end the same
And all
We need to learn
Is how to finally live
Like we are
Really alive
