Something peaceful
Like five in the afternoon
The breath you take after the tears that you shed
There is no sadness at that time
There is no pain
No loneliness
Only a big breath
A pause in life
The time you get to think
To look back and say
It's okay
It is okay that you are not okay
It is okay to be sad
To feel lonely
Because after the fire
The forest will rise again
And all of its flowers
Will bloom again

The wind will bring you ashes
Reminding you of what is now gone
But do not despair
For it is the human nature
To look back
Yet move forward
As butterflies and crows fly away
And fill the sky with various shades
Reflecting the way that you feel inside
you will gaze at them
and wonder where they are going
