The ephemeral essence of life fills my being with palpable
pain and ceaseless strife
Just as I am enraptured by the brevity of its brilliant beauty, I am burned by the
evanescent embers of its undoubtedly dying light
A flame that bears the illusion of burning ever so bright, while simultaneously
vanquishing from my very line of sight
Oh what a preciously perilous plight,
Here I rest and abide on the verge of existence, trembling amid the suffocating clutch
of a dreadfully diminishing delight,
Impermanence, the invisible winds beneath a wingless bird that
irrevocably refuses to take flight
Fueled by the facade of a flame that never ignites, evermore a raging rejection of
existence that simply cannot be denied,
A walking corpse, shrouded in the fleeting facade
of being halfheartedly awake and alive
An eternal quarrel of the mind hinged upon a definitive demise, how ever can
life and death peaceably yet concurrently coincide?
