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
 

         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 more 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
