Thinking my life through

Born and raised with love raging in my heart,

I have come to swim in the ocean of my memories,

The memories of a past that partially turned into ashes,

While some golden moments of light glow upon the sheets of my life's book.

I look at what I had to lose,

At what I had to give.

I am satisfied,

For it was all painfully and profoundly genuine,

My true nature rescues me now,

It keeps me from forgetting who I am,

And holds me as my legs seem to surrender to the night

And to the gravity electrifying that edge.

Now,

Today,

With all of my heart,

I step on all of the darkness in my way,

And smile!
