On some days
The sky will terrify me with outrageous thunder
Lightning turns the dark into day
Hailstorms crush my spirit
I will watch the snow melt on Christmas Eve
before the children build snowmen
I will cry at knowledge I never wanted to know
I will no longer believe in purity
Or innocence
It will be replaced with soot from hell's fires
and the broken bones of fools
Other days
I will laugh at jokes and dance to music
No one else hears
I will view the new born baby
Children playing in clover
Trees blowing in the wind
Rustling with emotion
I will believe in God and all he offers
All forgiveness, all life
Dreams will tumble out of me
Scriptures will pour out of my mouth with ease
I will choose the path of righteousness
Most days
I will live in comfort, love, understanding
I will not seek adventure
Either real or imagined
I will accept the world as it is
A mixture of emotions, good and evil
Experiences when intertwined become my soul
They create my spirit
On my last day
When death surrounds me
I will remember every road I traveled
All the wonder
All the sadness
All the heartbreak
All the joy
I will no longer rely on any other spirit to guide me
I will lift up my wings and fly
Either into heaven or hell
A gift of my own choosing
Wrapped in the foil of my experiences
The good and evil in men will no longer concern me
for I will understand why I was created
On that day
I will know I lived
