Believe

I believe in magic; in wind blowing through smoke, in grass growing around concrete, in trees growing from garbage, & life springing out of decay.
I believe in small miracles, in phoenixes & pixies in laying in the grass until the sun comes up again & counting stars all night
in swimming in a lake, at night till we cant feel our fingertips
I believe in talking to someone new everyday, in coloring a dismal building with cheerful words & standing up for the silent
I believe we have to save ourselves, yet you have & continue to help me
I believe in rocking the line between loneliness & independence & finding beauty in the breakdown
I believe in feeling hail, sunburn, & wind.
I believe that roses have their thorns, & that's what makes them beautiful.
I believe that time waits for no man, & no matter your circumstances, the world keeps turning.
