Here You Are

Shadows swarmed every corner you touched

Until you released the painfully gorgeous demons 

The demons that dominated every choice you made 

Except, here you are

The breeze is brushing your face

And your smile is convincing 

You are

Truly 

Living. 

Here you are,

alive.

Wow, incredible detail in such a short poem. Great feelings from simple pleasures in life.

This is a superb work that captures the simple joy that is life. So often, we forget the joy of just being alive in the world. Your poem is an excellent reminder to simply savor each living moment.

I feel line 2 is a tad wordy for the musicality, and in Line 4, I'm almost certain your intention was to write "except" not "accept", but this is otherwise very moving, sweet, a great feel-good poem! Well done!
