Death drew lines in sand,
Boarders on grass and divides
Sea and land. But know
The scorpion will strike, snake glides and bites
A predator; not of ill-belonging, but of fear.
Birds float across continents,
Dolphins flow and follow the tide.
Exhaust all energies or you can hide;
Forget illusion of deity and rebirth,
Of perfection and redemption.
Let live. Accept and move along,
Move along with your only feet for as long.
The absurd, the faults and the strengths,
Believe no charity nor fate or luck,
Swallow dignity and hate;
Or choke on beliefs soon to break.
What happens now is up to you.
Rise with scarlet sun and high-sky blue
For not even language is absolute; it deviates time.
Grasp words you know, tell me what’s mine.

I understand the world can be a cruel place; it is difficult to belong, to find others you may feel safe around. Our sense of self is influenced by so much of what we cannot control. I used to be afraid of this. Now, not so much. If you understand the words you think, you are more powerful. And if you do not, that is okay too. We cannot buy time; but we can allure ourselves through it.
