Walk around today
as though you will die tomorrow
and you will see beauty
stitched into every face
and leaf and dirty dish.
Walk around today
as though you will die tomorrow
and you will forgive
everything.
Walk around today
as though you will die tomorrow
and you will grow numb to everything
except gratitude
for what you have
right now.
You can try to stay closed
but I will be doing it too
and when I see you
you will see how I see you
and you will feel so cherished
in that moment
you will have no choice
but to melt.
