Carpe Diem?

Do we have a fate?
A life set out,
Do we have a destiny,
That He may shout?
Is there a path?
To follow its wind,
Is there a certainty,
Or a definite kind?

Are we just travellers?
Born to our roads?
Living a-lonely,
Lives just as odes?
Is there no destiny?
Just what we may choose,
A life without onlookers,
Just stark lies and truths?

Two sides of the spectrum,
A fate or a lie,
Two sides of a spectrum,
Life can be shy.

On thing to believe,
Is to seize life by arms,
Life is what it is,
Despite "fate"'s unruly charms.

Born again.

When we are born We are fragile Innocent Lost Soft Broken And gasping for comprehension.

Two Souls In A Dark World, Illumine

Friend, I don't know you, and you don't know me. Friend, if we talk to each other, friendship will come, gradually. Friend, you have nothing, and I have twice as much.

Heaven

A place in the sky, All cloudy and white, Sun's always shining, And it's never night, Angels with white wings, Floating around, Fluffy White clouds, Cover the ground, Or A never ending...

Just A Memory

Isn't it sad. We all vanish… We all die… It's sad. We decease a Grim's banish… Lost souls in the sky. What about the living. We lose our friends… We lose family… Grim's gift giving… It never ends.

Ideas.

What if this place Is nothing more Than a dark idea Or a Metaphor.

Where Are We?

Somewhere between love and hate. Somewhere between peace and violence. Between random and fate. Between anger and calm. Somewhere between the ocean and the land. Between safety and harm.

Why Ask Why?

Searching for a meaning when there's none to be found. Struggling to survive till you're six feet under the ground. There's more to life than figuring out what's in death.

Your Higher Self

One saw it as an illusion, another saw it as Darwin's evolution. i taste the bitter and sweet fruits of the tree, while He sits and calmly observes me.
