Lose all you can in this life. However, if the sagging smile on your face draws all soul-eating spirits to you, you will crown your defeats with glory.
Hellfire spits from the mouth. Random acts and gestures. Wax heart on the verge of melting. The tranquilly of a setting Sun at the end of the day. A storm brews overnight and is about to erupt.
A flower on a vine! Even when no one is looking, smiling! The tall, haughty trees nearby cannot see it. The flower shines brighter than the obscurity that the thick trees surrounding it create, even if the Sun's rays only kiss it late in the day.
We are travelling quickly on a path that is blind to our misery. We believe that destiny will unfold itself. Our goals change, and so does our path. Nothing appears to be close to where we want to be. But we keep moving.
