Learning To Kiss Life

by Kaylee   Mar 26, 2006


Kissing the water with
My fingertips dancing
Along the flowing waves.

Loving the sunshine
Allowing me to see
Through the palm trees.

Touching the sand without
Even moving my hands.
Thinking about you.

I know you worry about me.
I worry about you too.
But I’m kissing life.

Drink in my hand with
The straw bent and
There is a bird singing to me.

Guitar leaning against
The base of the tree.
Now I wish I knew how to play.

Strumming my words with
Every pull of the string.
Releasing my pain from the world.

I know you miss me.
I miss you too.
But I'm learning to kiss life.

Surfers pounding the
Ocean with their boards.
Hearing everything I feel.

Buckets being pressed
Into the sand.
Children wiping their dirty hands.

Rocks longing for the
Youth to climb and then
Jump being so free.

I know that you need me.
Hell I need you too.
But I’m kissing life.

    Life is a glorious thing that should always be embraced, but sometimes we shun it away. This poem was very optimistic, a light in the dark. I liked it, keep it up.
