the most beautiful day
brings impermanence to mind,
the sunshine won't last,
the wind will cease...
joyful memories
will eventually be forgotten
and the gerber baby
died a long time ago,
so how can anyone
smile?
I miss the days,
when monsters
were tearing apart my closet,
and happiness
was for no apparent reason,
I miss the curiosity
I had in the world around me...
but now I know it all,
I know of my own mortality,
my heroes have fallen,
naivety shattered,
we have no control,
over life,
over death.
so how can anyone
smile?
I found my smile
in you.
death by your side,
makes a life fulfilled.
and this lack of innocence,
is lost in your eyes:
they make the sun shine again
(even at 2 am).
they cause wilted nature
to spring up in endless beauty.
and force the wind to blow again
a warm and calming breeze.
they cause all that's been exposed,
to revert to how it was,
when there were monsters in my closet.
simple innocence.
