27 Reasons to Quit Smiling

The archer shoots his arrow 
deep into my heart- and I can feel
the throbbing pulse
as our hearts beat in sync...
and I am witness to perfection.

Self doubt has fled the scene
leaving only eager anticipation
I reform from victimization.
You could never make me feel
the way I've felt before- 
when everything was numbness
and casualty, and trepidation...

I am alive
and I breathe deeply
to keep my hands at my sides
and I smile to picture
the things that we will do
and the things that we will see...
and the people we could be.
This world holds a new passion
a new perspective-

premonitions fade
along with memories...
I am a blank canvas-
paint me.
Say you'll never turn away 
from this creation...
say we'll believe in beauty
forever.

This promise...
will be my solace-
and I will honor you
with the same truth...
the same structure.
I am in heaven...
and you a shining thing
bringing tears to my eyes

I am witness
to all of Gods mystery...
I am a participant
in the bliss of connection
