Viva La Dolce Vita

"Viva La Dolce Vita."

I'd much rather be here, with the sweet silence.
A state of complete serenity.
With my own steady heartbeat and thoughts.
Nil disturbance, everything I desire already lies within me.

Questa è la dolce vita.
No sudden outburst of redundant emotions, volatile temper.
A mind free of irrelevant opinions, vehemence, and insecurity.
Unlimited and unscrutinized.

To live my life both under the sun and into the night.
Dance through the rain, drink up the bittersweetness of life.
Having my own will yet going with the flow.
Embrace the warmth of the day, welcome the dusky evenings.
Touched by the glorious birth of mother earth.
Graciously accept that all thing must come to end.

Meanwhile, let us celebrate this one sweet chance at life.
Remember us being young and reckless.
Leaving imprints on each land we travel to.
Remember how we cried reading a heart-wrenching tale.
Marveled at the brilliant words of Yeats and Keats.

We are the narrators of our stories, each one so scintillating.
Our lives radiate with such brilliance before we take our final bow.
