Let us live like the flame
Perhaps time is but a human myth
A concept that allows us to understand our own
Mortality, our fleetingly fickle existence
Perhaps if humanity bathed in the fountain of youth
And death’s grip no longer stole us from this
Hellish paradise, perhaps in our immortality, like the
Moon and stars, existing in the vast darkness of infinite space
Perhaps then we would stop counting the days and years
And simply exist, simply live the way the flames that
Never stay embers do, just like the flames that burn
As strong and bright as the night’s stars that look down
Upon them. So let us set ablaze the fires of our souls
The flames burning undyingly letting our time cursed corpses
Turn to ash. Let us walk this earth never fearing death
Living as immortal as the glistening sun.
