Wait.
Wait long enough,
until the pain chrystalizes into memories you'll never forget.
Wait,
Until the tide washes away the harsher edges of all that has been,
and you become a collection
of all the smiles you have seen,
10 million or more,
over the years
and never one the same.
Never one that didn't melt,
your tired, wary, heart
and some
that did much, much more than that.
Nothing perfect or pretty about it.
Thank god.
So.
Here's my advice.
If you want to live,
Live.
If you want to know,
see the world.
Not just for what you want,
or what you think you know.
If you really want to know,
you.
must.
know.
You must touch
and see
and feel.
and be touched,
and felt,
and scene.
Take it and run while you still can,
run, baby run.
until that old familiar sun
sets on new sands,
with different eyes.
And new is breathed back into you
from the life, within each breath.
Walk tall,
in the direction of forever after.
And embrace it
with compassion.
Welcome to the fairy tale.
It's a wanderer,
just like you.
I believe what I have seen with my own eyes.
I believe in the miracle of redemption.
I believe that love is real,
endless,
nameless,
lost and confused
and spins around a universe that cares.
That picks you up on its back and carries you through.
Past all doubt, stupidity and shame.
Carries you on relentlessly,
in its love of you.
Be alive,
without compromise.
It's the only way to live.
