With the touch of the
Almighty Sun
And the kiss of
Wind
I am elated
Through the cities
Of fortune
And shame
Into the light
The dark
Of eternally
Twinkling
Fading
Life
Affirming
Stars

I know
I can have one
I know
It is my right
As a resident of
This wonderfully
Odd
Beautiful
Disgusting
Topsy-turvy
Planet
But
My hands
They are tired
And my
Mind
Is unsure
Of which way
Which path
To take
For many
Lead to
Misery
Pain
Disdain
Hate
Tainted glory
And only
A few
Or maybe
Just one
Lead to
Love
And
Enlightenment
And
Untouched
Pearly-white
Glory
And
Everlasting
Light

We only have
Days
On this world
And there is
No proof
Zero
That anything
Beyond what we are
Given
Here
And Now
Exists
So we must
Take what we have
And make it
The best thing we can
But this thing
Called
Life
Is the most
Confusing
Elusive
Contradictory
Concept
I have ever had the pleasure of knowing
