Leading the Way

Some people see life as little more than a motion,
they want to get through each day with no commotion.

A tear is a tear,
and a smile a smile,
anything felt,
should last only a while.

Life lead this way is not life at all,
for life lead this way is nothing more than a stall.

Some people see life as a chance to proclaim,
that they love every moment including the pain.

A tear’s not a tear,
and a smile not a smile,
for each is a chance,
to grow and inch or a mile.

Each breath that we take,
is proof we’re not dead.
And every experience that we cherish,
is a life that’s well lead.

Faces of One

What is around the corner,
we may never know.
Yet we waste time staring in the darkness,
for a face that may never show.

We know the expression on the face for which we are searching,
for every moment of everyday in our dreams it is lurking.
The curiosity to find it cannot be rationed,
for the desire behind it is a deep, honest passion.

Lives have been spent in valiant search of this goal,
and on the face of the travelers it has taken it’s toll.
Though their search and it’s efforts would not be in vain,
There is a path to the grail that is easier to attain.

So let it be known,
that I declare this quest done.
For if you look in a mirror,
you shall find the one.
