Do Not Stop For Death

chance the moment

risk

every opportunity

to do the impossible


paint every sunset

revere . . . every sunrise

mount  its canvas


shine ~ a light

into the darkness

and

hope to find

new things


drink  the wine

that sits upon your table


let . .


its sting

dance

upon your tongue

in delight ~

                      its blissfulness    

like the sweetness

of

a virgin maiden’s breath


breathing life

                       into your soul


and so you breathe

and  see

and taste

and hear


footsteps ~


coming


Conquest, Conquer, Love, War


challenge

the inconceivable            

pursue

the unattainable

only then

can one

know

one’s truth


for I’ve said ~


Truth ~ is a concept

coloured by

one's beliefs ~

one’s experiences ~

one’s circumstance ~

one’s expectations ~


Every Orchid

                       that grows

                                            even . .

                      in a garden

is still wild

                                                                                   every child

                                                                ever born

                                            regardless

                         of station

is your child


                                Every

                                           river

                                                   that

                                                           flows

                                                       is . .    

                                         no mo ~

                            than

           a stream

                                   until . .

                                                       the sea . !


                                                                                                Truth  does not stop for death

                                                        Life does not stop for death

Death does not stop for death


                                                     I . . .  will not stop for death
