Life

A beauty that is sunshine
A story of love
A perfect blue sky
A passion that can stun your senses
This is life.

When you concentrate on trying not to lose
When you cry from the things that hold you down
When you wear black because of death
When you yearn for an imaginary joy
This is life.

But where there are empty spaces,
There is a love to fill it in.
Where there are tears,
There is a smile that lights up your eyes.
There is life.

And where there is death,
There is a beauty in memories shaped through time.
No story is clean or smooth
So, look up at the world and live on,
For there is still endless life.
