The World Is A Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid To Die

You lay in a field of flowers counting each bird that passes overhead.

You've erased concern and decided to live for the moment because you always would say, "we might be dead by tomorrow."

Flowers grew from your heart and bloomed across your lungs,

creating a garden that sang the most beautiful hymns,

while my garden was withering.

Each breath you took was never wasted,

but I couldn't help but count mine like they were birds passing overhead.

Every night you would view the stars and moon with pure amazement as if it was your first time seeing them.

You gave all your love to me and each kiss was coined in my pocket.

You fell in love with me every night and I fell for all your hymns.

Soon enough the world would pass us by but I wouldn't blink because I could live off your touch for the rest of my time.

You showed me there is more in life than just one color,

but instead, the world is a whole painting with colors that can't be described.

You showed me just how beautiful the world was.

You taught me how to grow beauty from my eyes but lately, I've been dreaming and falling for stars.

Imagining what it'd be like slow dancing with the planets, getting lost in constellations.

But I'm just not ready to go yet however I do not control time.

You showed me that dying can be beautiful.

That we'll be okay because when we leave we all become one with the earth and one with nature.

So love, love me until time runs out,

until I become one with nature.

 

And many years later as time starts to fly by and you slowly start to watch your clock tick down, you'll know where to find me, my love.

I'll be up with stars.

Somewhere lost in the cosmos.

I'll be spinning with the planets dreaming about what it would feel like to be able to walk on flowers again.
