"Fortunate One"
Fortunate One
...I felt so small
a leaf in a hurricane
and I was born...
Life
That first cry would lead to many more
baring beautiful and sad tears
along bridges, broken and mended
taking trails leading to dark forests
searching for answers never to be found
or crossing paths discovering gardens of white lilies
and velvet blossoms of jasmine scented roses
All a part of a journey in a never ending quest
to find the reason why
to find
Destiny
...decaying life's dreams
clinging to yesterday
memories fade...
Death
Young and indestructable
the future so far ahead
even the looking glass can't hold
the weight of the world
for them to see clear
Middle age and much more crazy
than you'll ever realize
the past too close
the present too heavy
what lies ahead too scary
The good die young
happens too often
and aging gracefully
at peace is too rare
Which brings us
to our final resting place
in this life we lead
the in-between
what we want
what we need
what we desire
what,
if we're lucky
we find
Love
...and I am lucky
I lay in a beautiful universe of stars
captured in a sweet southern storm
melted in a blazing burn of whispers
shimmering beneath warmth shared
in a rainbow of pleasures
that time can never take away
I have found the beautiful of in-between
the reason why
the dawn of my destiny
I am one of the lucky ones
and I will cherish my fortune
til the end of time
and beyond
I've found love...
