I have no life but this

To write the smiles,

To see the songs,

To listen to the rainbows.

I have no life but this

To learn the patter of rain,

To touch the air,

To fly the soil.

I have no life but this

To run the ocean,

To swim the sky,

To till the stars.

I have no life but this

To cradle love,

To teach faith,

To feel spirit.

I have no life but this.

 

Inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem “I Have No Life But This”
