Ache

Hold your aching ribs
From splitting your skin
As your mirth overwhelms
Flooding your inner cell
The pain is fleeting
Like a dream of falling
You will awaken
Before any real danger

Hold close your love
Don't let the vultures
Pick your fingers clean
Clutching nothing but regret
The bones beseeching
Bleached so white with time
They become transparent
All but faded from existence

Don't bleed bitter
Tainting your ether
With disappointment
Or pessimistic angst
If you are to bleed
Let it flow freely
Like a glacial stream
Sweet with brittle purity

Become the great tree
Strong and unyielding
Swaying only slightly
To the world around
Bury your truth so deep
You'll never go hungry
Anchor your heart
Within your ideal self

Sway in the breeze
Life flowing around you
Feel the ache of existence
Fade into obscure memory
Breathe in deep
Fill your lungs
And know your ribs
Will soon heal

Sway in the breeze
Life flowing around you
Feel the ache of existence
Fade into obscure memory

This is amazing we usually forget to enjoy the life around us and keep living under the shadows or past or thinking about future. Life is all beautiful if live in the moment of it.
