What Do I Live For?

What do I live for?

I live for the first bud of spring, summer seas, the autumnal breeze, a warm drink in the midst of winter;

I live for a laugh, a smile, that single wisp of golden glowing by the edge of the heavens at sunset;

I live for the taste of home, the smell of spices, the sound of sizzling oil, the sight of a plate made for me;

I live for my dreams, and memes, and half-forgotten streams in the woods near grandma's house;

I live for the books not yet read, movies unwatched, every note in that concerto I simply need to hear;

I live for my heart, my soul, my existence on this earth; I live for my yesterday, my tomorrow, my today.
