Let true beauty be
a reason to live
without compromise
stop,take a look
so once the final chapter
of life lived book
holds memories
of simple moments
before the sands of time
run out.
Take yesterday
for what it was
give today a chance
to be
all worth knowing
bow your head
say a prayer
hold on to what is needed
not wanted
for all the wants disappear
after a quick glance.
Be like a flower
wild or nurtured from seed
cherish what is now
read your heart
not what is cluttered within
a temporary mind
one that changes
like seasons
without reasons.
Look at the stars
let true beauty be
all that touches a soul
for all else is useless
in the long run
because unless you know
wants from needs
do not plant a seed
just to watch it grow
and die.
