  • your life is your life

    don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.

    be on the watch.

    there are ways out.

    there is a light somewhere.

    it may not be much light but

    it beats the darkness.

    be on the watch.

    the gods will offer you chances.

    know them.

    take them.

    you can’t beat death but

    you can beat death in life, sometimes.

    and the more often you learn to do it,

    the more light there will be.

    your life is your life.

    know it while you have it.

    you are marvelous

    the gods wait to delight

    in you.

  • What if you took the lightest and darkest moments of life and communicated them through the relationship between nature and the human body.
