On silent
toes, life passes you by,
Your world
flips around in the blink of an eye.
Heartbeat suspended,
you wish it would stay,
Just the
same as yesterday.
Friends drift
apart like leaves scattered in the breeze.
Like smoke arising
from dying embers, love will cease.
And beauty,
the most fickle of them all,
Fades faster
than dreams you wish you’d recall.
It’s all transient; it’s all a game,
No two
hearts really beat the same.
Some things
last a while, others a bit longer.
Yet what doesn't
destroy you just makes you stronger.
So breathe
in the air, live life to the brim.
Open your
heart to the world, whether happy or grim.
Don’t clutch
at sand, don’t hide or retreat.
In time, the
dust will settle at your feet...
