Gentle life
I want a gentle life,
One filled with laughter and joy.
Bare feet running through cloudburst covered grass.
I want to share food and music,
I want to know people like poetry deeply, openly, passionately.
I want to care and be cared for to kiss and be kissed,
to find and be found
for my life to be like a painting,
like a book on a shelf
like a story from my favorite author and to love, oh god how I'll love.
