I'm no longer a warrior, 
And I've chosen to stop fighting. 
The battlefield's sight, gruesome and raw, 
No longer holds power over me. 
I embrace my role as an onlooker, 
Watching from a distance with clarity. 
I am an observer, strong in my stance, 
No longer bound to be a peacekeeper.

-

let go of grief so I can welcome joy

-

that it never stops being a surprise.

-

An interval just after the batsman hit a six.

-

Adieu, until we meet again or not.

-

Something we don't have to explain, existing within ourselves.

-

It's dramatic

-

expensive but valued

-

Unwrapping the gifts with every step of the unknown.

-

You only live once, so live for yourself too.
