Just Be. by ~PepperSeeds
SeashellsSeashells.Seashells by ~PepperSeeds
I used to think kids had minds
Of a quick silver gun; blind
To the trivial chores of tomorrow
Blind to their own sorrow
I used to think the pavement?
Sang a slow lament
To the hazy summer evening
Cracked from love’s yearning
I used to think seashells
Had the hearts of diamonds
Till I saw with my own eyes
One halved with scissors.
At which moment I realized
My childish innocence, paralyzed
With the fear of my own mortality.
And now, I remember my childhood
Where naïve kings once stood
And their castle walls (still) barricades
A selfish reasoning that fades
With time.
To live on.
To love and be loved
Because we need that
