Alive

Alive

we enter this world,
seeking the answers,
walking in steps
to find what lies ahead,
we travel in lines,
cross over bridges,
roll up and down hills
just to do it all again,
comings and goings
now coming full circle,
seeking a thrill,
in the newness of it all,
inhales and exhales
let us smell how fragile,
how beautifully insignificant
we sometimes become,
it is here that we find our power,
realizing we are deliberate,
even in weakness,
and this makes us strong,
so we stretch understanding,
feast on its reaching,
dig fingers and toes
into each of our breaths,
learning that the secret
doesn’t dwell in how to live,
the secret, is how to die
without regret
