Life is
Rejection

It lets you in
Then
It lets you out

I see no difference
With that of
Love
With that of work
With that of
Friendship
With that of children
Parents
Grandparents

Pets
Be it
Fish
Dog
Cat or mouse

Life is
Rejection with
Temporary
Acceptance

What is
Forever?

Being an angel?
A devil?

Being human?
That's forever.
That's never.

Being human
Is a pause before
Eternity -

If you believe in that sort of thing.

Life is rejection
Before
And
After

Life is rejection
And we can't wait
To be rejected
To take a breath
From ourselves

Who goes asleep
Truly eager
To wake.

Be honest.

I am.

The call to be,
Present!
Stems from this rejection.
Is born from this fact.
This rejection
Is our halo, is our trident, is our wings, is our horns

Is our thought
As we lay
Entranced by the muse
Beneath the tree

Life is rejection
So be free
Before we are

Rejected

To who knows where.
