To Live- Vivere

The old grandfather clock ticks away.
Breathes come and go.
Light and dark blanket the world.
Footsteps are made,
Babies cry,
Teenagers drive.
People find jobs,
Buy apartments and homes.
Live.

They live their lives for a reason.
Some for money.
Some for greed.
Some for lust.
Some for ambition.
Some for fear of the beyond.
But the best live for love.

They live for that one special person to come along,
For that person to change their world,
To mean everything in a world so full of corruption,
To spark that light at the end of the tunnel,
To warm their hearts with happiness and joy,
To spend sunny afternoons laying in the grass,
To fly around the world,
To spend a quiet meal together as one.
They live.
