They say
Curiosity killed the cat
But who are they anyways?
They
sure do say
A lot of things ...
I have been oh so curious
And I am still alive...
While I am neither cat nor
animal of any kind
I find that being curious
Is the only way to actually live...
For how can you discover
Anything
Without curiosity?

I don't mind the rain
Or opinions
Contentment within
Is protection
I understand
So I'll bring sun and shade
You can stand under my shelter
Rightly disposed
I'll  bring light into darkness
With perfect balance

I suppose I am not so broken
it is impossible for me to keep it
together

I could use gold to piece my heart together in a mosaic fashion

Then I can proudly display my masterpiece

I am still golden
I still have a heart of gold

Only
a much more delicate
Far more valuable
work of art

What would life be like
If there were no deadlines
No rush, no hurry
No waiting in line
No jammed up traffic
Or chaotic lunch hours
No frustrated looks
Everyone is smiling
Waving to say "hello!"
On their way to somewhere
They want to be

Imagine if you will
It begins with
A coral & blue sun rise

Slowly you stretch
Close behind
Is a warm cozy cuddle
Holding a hot cup of tea
A delicious home made breakfast with loved ones

Mid morning is spent
in your garden
Hands cultivating rich soil
Flowers greet your senses
Beauty catching your eye
from every angle
Satisfaction is all you feel
Knowing everything you need
Is there in your fruit trees
The ones you planted
In the garden beds
The ground provides everything
Without cost

It is mid day
A soak sounds nice
As long as you like
Hey, why not go for a hike?
To waterfalls
Or a river bed
Or climb a mountain side
Do whatever you want
Leave the country!
There are no boundaries

You won't grow old
Because you have eternity
Age does not exist
Unless we count the years
And there are no more tears
Because sin has disappeared

There's a million things to do
You're happy and healthy
You have day and night
There's joy in every thing
& no exhaustion in sight
What if
Everything I said
Is possible
What would you give up today?
What if there was only
One way
But that way
Is sometimes uncomfortable
Would that make you
Want to do what it takes?
Would that make you
Try to learn what might
Seem implausible?

Just so you know
I do not want to save you
In fact I can not.

You and I,
We can only save ourselves.

What is it to be alive?
Pondering life
Living....
Is it to be wild
without a care?
Taking off in a split second
No worries no responsibility
Traveling
Mystery
Is it to be wrapped up in
Hobbies
Spending time doing
The things you enjoy,
Being somebody
Loving somebody...
Does that make you feel alive?
Is it knowing?
Wisdom, knowledge, philosophy
What does it mean?
No matter where I'm going
All the places I've been
Even when I thought I
Was loved
All my years one thing I've
Never felt is
Alive

The only love I've ever known
I have never seen
The only ear that's ever listened
I've yet to hear him speak
But I know he speaks
Through pages I read
In moments
Experiences
I relive in memories
The only love I've never known
I talk to more than anyone
I talk about him too
The only love I'll ever want
I have yet to meet
But somehow I know I will
One day

That day is worth living for
To me it means everything
