To live, to be, now; They never see though they look To feel, to love, then; They never hear though they hark To laugh, to cry, when; They never savour though they sip To hate, anyhow; They never touch though they reach To die, for oneself; They never breath though they try. To see one and none; Doubles in the darkness fight, They are both and one. – –– A lone dog barking. Wind rattles the leaves of a tree; Pure indifference. – –– Delicate flower Yearning for the light of truth; Storm clouds steal it from your reach. Springing into life, O with such an innocence; Even the Gods desire your grace. You reach your high peak, Your speed unmatched, power unequalled; All creation is for you. The struggle knows it, That which you hold so dear: It fades. You fall. Deep deep down. Coldness consumes it, The grace and might held dear. Eternity cares little, Delicate flower. Look now to your fate: witness! See it. Know it. Embrace it. Ad infinitum.
