A Playful Look.

In a life of peaks and valleys steep,
We laugh, we cry, we wake, we sleep.
Sometimes screaming loud, sometimes a silly face,
Sometimes finding our steps, slowing finding our place.

In our wild moments though, we might lose control,
Searching for fun, peace, happiness, any feeling in our soul. Among the chaos created, strong storms can cut like a knife, But we learn to mend, we learn from life.

Let’s take the time to heal our scars,
To ground ourselves beneath the stars.
To love with all our hearts and then,
To let go, free, and breathe again.

For when we fall, a chance to rise,
To seek the truth beyond the skies.
In love, in loss, in all we learn to know,
Create the space to feel every high and low.

So give a playful look if you dare
Feel wonderful and free without a care
And do all the weird things that make us true
To who we are through and through.

❤️ - Lacey Cruse
