Three days of careless
a lifetime of lifeless

Breathing isn't easy
with crumbling lungs,
but inhale will I still,
as the world falls
upwards and down,
and oxygen burns
as it enters my mouth

Internal ignition
Hello to the end
Goodbye to the doubt


Enter and exist

Passage of time

Passage of life

Tick tock clock

Every now and then
may it stop
so that I may bask
in the fullness
of what I've been given
and reflect on
the task at hand,
which may be
any of many things

Life is partial

Life is complete

Your eyes hold life

Pass it to me

so I may hold it
just for a blink
of my eyes within yours

Mirror paradox

Endless reflection

I see you and me
in a vision futuristic
of a world long gone
beyond, now behold
the manifestation
of what we never thought would be
