I want to walk
As if forever
I’ll be around,
I want to feel
The texture
Of the ground,
Before it’s buried
In man’s ruins,
I want to know
The air I breathe
Is held be sound…
I want to taste
Of life
Thus so devour,
Each morsel
Of every shade
And colour,
I want to smell
The fragrances
That embraces
My existence,
Till no longer
Thus living life,
As if forever!

“…the earth delights to feel your bare feet…” Kahlil Gibran.
I’ve loved Kahill Gibran since I read my first verse. There is a picture of a leather-bound book of his work on the cover of my fourth published book of poetry. Thank you for linking my “Living Life”~ as if forever ~ poem to this man’s great words. JJ
