It Took A Lifetime, Less A Day

[Bonochick]

It took a lifetime, less a day
To find the meaning of it all
To enjoy the blazing sunshine
To make my soul shake with laughter

It took a lifetime, less a day
To understand true love
To feel your words
To make sense of your visions

It took a lifetime, less a day
To realize it wasn't just me
To open my discriminating eyes
To see stars in the daylight

It took a day
To forget all that I had learned
To fall backwards into my trap
To leave the world with diamond tears

 

[The Wanderer]

To make my soul shake with laughter

I love that particular line! that's a great one! good writing, Bonochick, it seems you always pour out everything you have in your words
