numb,
eventually
we all become
numb of
life's subtractions
its vortex fails
to unsteady us,
its impact abates
to that of fractions
its aroma no longer
carries hints
of spice nor
offensive odor
to thine eyes
its once
brilliant hue is now
an ebon color
its touch
no longer unbearable
no longer a
raging fire
as years pass by
life's subtractions
just never appear
so dire
it feels cold
and then it
feels warm
but it always
feels warm
with the addition of
a new day's morn
numb as life's years
pass us by but
passionately alive
when we are born
