Walk a mile

Speak Life

Speak life,
and I shall dance with you.
We'll spin in riotous circles,
and see life from a different view.

Speak life,
and we shall paint.
We'll splatter canvas in dynamic shades,
and see life without constraint.

Speak life,
and we'll sing such songs.
The beat pulsing through your body,
to add life where it belongs.

Speak life,
and we'll laugh till we cry.
We'll guffaw and giggle till our bellies ache
and life chuckles in reply.

Speak life,
and I'll forgive you.
We'll never mention this again,
I'll pretend I never knew.

Speak life.
