Love Poem: Life In the Shallows

Life In the Shallows

Wrapped around is your crimson lace
The confidence walks at a trusted pace
Your seekers stare through a mountain of lies
Hoping to find a soul that flies
Oh but there’s magic inside what cries

Beads of moisture don’t always follow misery
A strong embrace can be so comforting
Looking just past the time holder
Is a life less colder
The smell of the oak and the whisper of wind
Shows the pages of life to begin
Contrary to those who believe in the norm
You follow your heart ever since you were born

Death makes life worth living
Only once can we swim in the shallows

But yesterday is tricky cause it hurts to remember
But your strength pushed you through to December
With your chin held high
You’re ready to fly
To a place beyond the cold tremors

Death makes life worth living
Only once can we swim in the shallows
