IF I LEFT

 

If I left 

What would you do?

Would you think of me in the evenings

Would you miss me and my smile?

Would you wish I'd stayed a while?

Will you see me in your dreams?

In quiet memories and songs

Our inside jokes, familiar strokes

Or will I lay some place special?

Tucked away in your mind

A life left behind

Will you write me love letters

Reminisce with my friends

Will your heart break to never mend

Or will you  raise a toast to my end?

If I left ...

WALK

 Walk
Just keep walking
On that razor's edge
You call life

Breathe
Don't forget to breathe
Sleep and the rest
Will follow

Dream
Don't wake up
Stay in the land
Of make believe

BEAUTY

 

There is beauty in the absurd

In the ugly complicated truth of humanity

In that which we do not face

In the primal underneath the patina of civilization

There is beauty in the hard, the unspoken and broken

In the carnage and rebirth

In all it's gore and heart and glory

For there is beauty in life

We don't like to talk about it

No one wants to think about it

There is life, we are human 

And there is beauty.
