Living
December 5, 2023
Are you living, or just alive?
Living is smiling when you hear the rain
Listening as it sings its song
To comfort you in your pain
It’s peeling potatoes to make a soup
And the smell of coffee on a cold winter’s day
It’s cleaning your room to jazz in the background
Or wishing so desperately that someone could stay
It’s watching flowers awaken from their slumber
Or seeing the ocean in a pair of blue eyes
It’s opening the window for the first time in spring
And leaning out to listen to the noisy seagulls’ cries
It’s the feeling of accomplishment after working hard
And dreaming of your future, exciting and new
But nevertheless, beyond all these little joys
Living is living because I get to live it with you
