capture a moment . commit it to memory . the days do not last
to live a full life . it helps to hear the music . in quiet moments
what looks like decay . is often shedding of what’s . no longer needed
how we see a field . of flowers, is how we see . the rest of the world
times when we feel stuck . it’s likely because we are . not where we should be
seen from a distance . it looks like an obstacle . but then the path curves
for a brief moment . the world lights up with colors . that will soon be lost
we still recognize . something by its name, even . removed from context
a delicate shell . was once all the protection . its builder needed
a lighthouse stands watch . like a guiding principle . to show us the way
