It is fascinating, closeness to another
It is fascinating, closeness to another Opens worlds unto the mind The light of another's eyes Shines light unto oneself
Sometimes magnificent Sometimes blinding Sometimes painful
However, we Are mortal beings We learn and grow We laugh and cry We live
We die
Through the growth and experience Like the moon chases the sun Across the sky What lies across the glowing path
Grief Grief always follows
Two sides of the same coin The cruel paradox of life
Some things in life we must learn to sit with One's own thoughts they must contend
A lovers' passion A parent passing A friend's soul altered A community you no longer reside A wonderful workplace you outgrew A vacation abroad you can never return to
Perhaps it is human nature To share something beautiful Only for it to be taken away, knowing it would end To love and lose is to be alive
It is interesting how being close to someone Opens new thoughts and ideas The brightness in someone else's eyes Illuminates one's own self
Sometimes it's beautiful Sometimes it's overwhelming Sometimes it hurts
But we Are beings who will die We learn and develop We experience joy and sorrow We exist
We eventually pass away
Through growth and experiences Like the moon follows the sun In the sky What is on the shining path
Sadness Sadness is always present
Two aspects of the same reality The harsh contradiction of existence
Some lessons in life require acceptance One must face their own thoughts
The passion of lovers The loss of a parent A friend's changed spirit A community you no longer belong to A job you have outgrown A trip abroad you can't revisit
Maybe it's part of being human To share beauty Only to have it taken away, knowing it will end To love and lose is to truly live
