The Miracle of Life
Expand the butterfly's wings,
And allow it's vigorous colors of the golden sun to shine.
Sing a sweet song,
And let harmonious melody spread throughout the tired midsummer's end.
Dance the last tread,
And with sweeping steps travel into the majestic night.
Open the doors of your mind to love,
And warm yourself to the maddening heat of your passions.
Perceive yourself not to look toward the past,
And today will be all you can implore.
Have the freedom to dream,
And reality shall never put you into a gilded cage.
Laugh then weep and scream,
And you will discover that vociferous words are not ever enough.
Give heed to the stars and the moon,
And you just might learn from their beautiful silver aura.
Paint pictures from the radiant colors of your mind,
And you will acknowledge the wisdom within the art of unadulterated imagination.
Understand with an open heart-felt joy,
And you will soon embrace upon the never-ending tender of a true friendship.
Play the vapid fool,
And ever then there is a lesson to be taught from your mistakes.
Believe in what you cannot witness,
And you will seek out the miracle that is sure to follow.
Capture the fallen petals of the crimson-blooded rose,
And you notice that life's brilliant light is far to precious to waste.
Expand,
Sing,
Dance,
Open your mind,
Continue on for today,
Dream,
Express,
Imagine,
Understand,
Feel one another,
Believe,
AND…
Capture the bittersweet innocence of life.
For you shall never know when you could be the next aching soul to say good-bye.
