what is life?
the question of the future
what does it mean



                                  to live                
         and      
                   to die?                              
                            .                              
    ­    .          
                            
                              
can you save your soul
on the one drive?

what does it mean to be alive?

what life can we recognize
when the void
gazes also

with no eyes?

who is who
and what is what?
O
what a time to be alive

what am I made of?

words and expressions?
matter and energy?
things and possessions?

am I my ideas
and what I have felt?

am I a hand
that has already been dealt?

what am I made of?

force and attraction?
the sum of my equal opposite reactions?

does this all add up
to an identity?

the soul casts no shadow

I am only

me

I am a wave
on a stormy black sea

I am a branch
on an infinite tree

space within space
time within time

two mirrors reflecting
infinite timelines

so much of my ambition and success
is what you motivated me to do
one day I hope I will find someone else
who motivates me just as much as you

this prison has no walls
only the sea
there is nothing you can climb
to be free

VIGILANCE

OBEDIENCE

CONTROL

a cold perimeter
around the soul

the river does not know
why it flows
into the sea

but it can shape the land
like a strange hand

the wind does not know
why it blows
through the trees

but it can turn a mountain
into sand

I am not afraid to love
I am afraid to be loved

Why should this be something
That I am afraid of?

So I can never break your heart
And never show my soul

So you can never say
You do not love me
Anymore
