Unbroken
The world has grown up around usleaving us with our memories and the beauty of broken things, dusty relics of the time we knew
even the sky is different now but yet we cast the same shadows and these shadows still stretch as we walk away from the sun
the crowd grows younger each year but I feel a warmth that only wisdom brings to have weathered all the winds life has blown and still be able to smile...to find joy means, today, I've won. I am not broken
These years have taught me to feast on the marrow of life to wring out the glistening drops of happiness and not trouble myself with the trivial,
the day's events slither, they are shallow and fickle sometimes difficult to grasp they do not even know themselves
in the end all that matters is the sum of the words written on the pages of our book of life and their unique and personal truths.
