How is it so easy for you to be kind to people? He asked
Milk and honey dripped from my lips as I answered
Because people have not always been kind to me
There are better days ahead for those who leave their bitter days behind
Once moment I accepted
That I had outgrown the future I once saw for myself
The pain started to taste less like poison
And more like poetry
The earth was made for lovers
She had an uncanny energy for life
thankful for every little miracle it bestowed
And it made her entirely impossible to live without
