It's times like these

That make me realize

Just how awesome life is...

The way the grass looks

After a heavy rain.

How the pregnant silence

Warns the heart

Of a mental and outer storm.

The peaceful rock

Of the waves at sea.

The exhilaration rush

Of the same waves so harsh.

The warm embrace

Of the sun above.

The comforting arms

Of a person's love.

The friendly smile

Of a long-lost face.

The assurance that life

Will begin a new race.
