Life

Life

Lost ground and lost way

Footing insecure

Broken and defeated

We must brace ourselves

To rise again

For no matter how often we fall

We must rise to the challenge

To the day

To face our enemies

Because that is the meaning of life

The rise and fall

The give and take

Without which

We cannot live

Nothingness

No matter how much… I want

How much… I can feel

How… I can almost taste

It doesn’t matter

It is immaterial

A passing sensation

A momentary distraction

We all pass into nothingness

Should we try to overcome?

Try to surpass?

Try to better ourselves?

Whether we want to or not

We desire

We can feel

We do taste

We return to matter

We improve the material

Enjoy the sensations

Prolong the distractions

Before we become the nothingness
