Beauty

I was lost
blinded by short term gains
living to die
but dying to live
so badly did I want
to control the world around me.
futile.

reborn.
like a child again
viewing the world from wonder
and not frustration
like the messiah
I've come back for you.

I am here to help you open your eyes
let go.
stop trying to control
and instead
see the beauty all around you.

there is something freeing in knowing
that there is nothing you can so sometimes
you don't have to worry about
the day turning into night
it will turn back to day again on its own
the flowers and grass breathe
I don't need to worry
about the leaves falling off the trees
I know they will grow back
isn't that the beauty
of nature around us?

See.
