Just Be Exquisite

Originally Written August 9, 2007

Message to my good friend

You look out on life
like
beautiful blooming flowers
lacking sun and water.

You reek with beauty
but
tragedy consumes you
like night’s darkness
invading on daylight’s hopes and dreams.

Your emotions
Two different personalities.
Something like a
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde effect
at a split second
and issues of self image erect

When life’s depressions
hit, and
life’s joys come
You play the role of chameleon.
Colors of red
with eruption of anger,
yellow of happiness and glee,
and blue of sorrow and sadness

You blend
with every emotion like
voices of a choir.
Low bursting voices
harmonizing with high pitches
singing on one chord.
Making beautiful music
like angels playing harps
in heaven.

You try to carry life.
Atlas.
The world on your back.
And I tell you,
Just be
exquisite.
