Essence



Fresh scent of a breeze on a spring day of bloom, Characteristics of butterflies fluttering as elegant as perfume,
Beauty as rare as an ocean glowing with natural neon glowing light, so does the love that I have for you tonight.

As time pass and although we may whither in age, limitless is the point of essence and caress of sage,
Distant stars and spirit no entity can give, only the timeliness of existence as it in itself remains active.

Untouchable karma but in itself creates a special glow, a gift it seems for the many but those who understand fate will know,
Thoughts and dreams and realities can always tell, those who remain steadfast even though it looks as if it may fail.

The best gift in life are those which can't be touched or felt, but understanding that the mere essence of life, feelings, love, or existence in itself is real.  

-O Free III
