Living
The dread of not existing
 Has haunted my conscience too long.
 It is time for me to accept
 That I am nothing more or less
 Than an accident of nature.
 
 The awe I feel
 That life could occurre at all
 Overpowers my senses.
 Intricate, yet flawed,
 In a way allowing more beauty.
 
 How lucky am I 
 To linger in this beautiful world
 When infinite possible lives
 Never will?
 How  ungrateful would it be
 To complain of life's brevity?
 
 I am done with fear.
 Wonder is enough.
 Love is enough.
 Life is enough.
 So I've opened my eyes... 
 It's time to start living.
