More to Life

I choose to believe that there is more to life
than heartache and grief.
I have endured much hardship.
Still, I wake to watch the sun rise above the mountain peak.
I feel the salt of the ocean waves,
catch the scent of something sweet,
then let the soft flavors melt on my tongue.
I listen to the soft breeze
as it whistles through the trees.
It is then that I know-
Life is full of peace
