A Handful of Life
Still, silentI want to bury my head in the laketo feel the chill of autumn
Fleeting light and passing shadow slip from my fingertipsbrushing lightly over the fallen leavesdisturbing the dust
The city, black and whitedistorted backdrops and seas of peoplethe ceaseless flow through cold and heat
So then, add the color backpick up the graffiti penand see what surprises are left
Real, sincerethe worldly wisdom behind foolish wordschoosing, letting go, time after time
A salute to what you believeto loving what you seekto the eternal that is the instant—most beautiful
