I Want to Write of the Beautiful Things

I spent so long writing about the bad things in life

The ugly things

The painful things

And I thought that only pain was worth putting into writing

That the point of pain was to drive you to make something beautiful

And that's how you survived it.

But now

I want to put something beautiful into writing

To immortalize it

To remember it

I want my words to speak of love

Of kindness

Of soft summer breezes

And of cold winter nights

By the fire

With the person you love the most.

I want to write of the feeling that nothing else matters

To isolate the beauty I didn't think I knew

To look love

and life

in the face 

and acknowledge it.

I want to capture forever

the things that matter

and make life worth living

and never let them go

To capture the warmth and love I feel in this moment

In the moments I feel immortal

and endless

when I'm not.
