While I am alive.

Woke from a dream,

where I stood by a stream

where the sun turned dull

and its heat lull,

and everything big and small

none but appall'.

Where nature's beauty

left as I felt sleepy,

and this dream took over,

so i stood sober

well shaken

realising everything was taken

wondering 'why?'

I never took a breather just to sigh

to take a pause

just to repose.

So i woke this morning

not in mourning,

but in appreciation

for the current situation,

happy for the sting

that the sun does bring

knowing all is a God-given chance

to take a stance

for one last glance

to know what i'll be missing

when everything is gone missing

to live 

and let live

be 

and let be

and to set free

that i might be

somewhat, somehow hopefully
set free
to be

never in misery

So here I stand cheerfully

knowing definitely

that i must live and live fully

like each day is the first

of the rest
So I woke this morning
not in mourning
but in appreciation
for the current situation
that now i must realize 
and recognize
the truth from the lies
and to synchronize 
and sensitize
in acquiescence 
my very essence
to get a clearer sense
of the truth that I must live
not in hatred  and in regret but in love
all the while I am alive.
