A Series of Haiku On Living
Where is the beauty
In believing we should die?
This is not beauty.
Where is the beauty
In wanting to stay in bed
For days, weeks on end?
It’s not beautiful.
Not brave, romantic, or cute
To wish away life.
There should be light in
Everything around us.
Not dark, emptiness.
Where flowers can grow,
There will always be a light.
There is light in you.
See this light, and you
Too, can live the way you wish.
No one can stop you.
You may feel as though,
This life is weighed on your hands.
That you cannot breathe.
You must know. Know this;
There is nothing in your way.
Do not stop yourself
From living, loving.
From experiencing life.
From knowing yourself.
See the light around
You, and feel the warmth it gives.
You are not alone.
