Maybe there is more to life than living.
A person is a ripple in a stream,
Roiling the waters with a dream,
The revelation that makes life worth
giving.
In love one finds a reason for
believing,
Needing love to make life more than
seem,
Love that makes the mundane moment
gleam,
Undoing fate with faith, and death with
grieving.
There is no love but at the risk of
death,
Having valued something more than
self,
Embracing what gives life to life, and
grace,
Replacing fear of death or loss with
joy.
Know then that the dreaded end of
breath
Is not the end one ought to aim for,
else
None would speak to fortune face to
face,
Granted life no bullet can
destroy.
