one hundred fifty-two

“Your aura is incredible;
if you don’t have to go: don’t”*

I’m completely blindsided,
but welcome more, if you please.

My lower lip may not last for much longer,
and I am sure that my cheeks will burn off.

But I know that my smile is real, genuine – painless;
And I can feel the light shining from my eyes.

All that passion for life – tapped,
And ready to explode.

I’m still in shock;
Trying to figure it all out.

And then remind myself,
It doesn’t really matter.

(Except to say, thanks-
For seeing what I thought was gone.)

*Lyrics from Don’t Stop the Music by Rihanna
