Falling in Love With Life
A poem
Some will fall in love with life and drink it like a fountain, pouring like an avalanche, coming down the mountain. ~Butthole Surfers
Falling in love with life again
falling in love with myself
this person I have become
on the other side of the fire
I am strong
I am brave
I am wise
I am older now and know
a little bit more about life
enough to admit
that I know far from everything
I am this tiny speck floating
across the vast sky
of the universe
I am a grain of sand
at the edge of the ocean
I am a cell in the giant body
that is all of existence
Wrinkles crease my face now
from smiling or frowning though
I don’t actually know
I only have three expressions
happy, sad and mad
so one of the made those lines
