Life Lesson

Bountiful beautiful budding bouquet, breathlessly brimming with brilliant array.

Caress of a caramel sunset come down. Your hand in my hand as your smile heals my frown.

The stars as they fell with the promenade's gleam. Their lights shining bright, Reflected in your eyes despite their great heights.

The lesson I learned as the frigid air froze, as my arms kept you close, as the lights led us home.

As I stood in your doorway and watched the door shut, as I made my return to my house (by short cut).

I learned that every now and then life is worth living.

And that I sure as hell wasn't going to miss it.
