to live
to eat
to cook
to celebrate
to accept rain
to dance with thunderstorms
to accept rejection like my friend
to forgive
to be fascinated by
simplicity
to converse
to click photographs
to dance
to be someone’s home
to sing
to enjoy
to travel
to know
to hug
to be someone’s need
to love
to accomplish
not to show
but to see
to be someone’s first call
to feel
to understand
to write
to be out of breath
to appreciate
to acknowledge
to make people feel blessed
to feed
to be grateful
to express
to give
to grow
to be better
and to continue
not in humans
but in hearts
not in puzzles and parts
but in conversations with cups
that define art
to live
without the fear of death
without the fear of fading
without the fear of decaying
without the pressure
of not being alive
this is all I want
in life
