Life

living

living life

what is this?

thats a cliché 

is it untrue 

a untruth is wisdom 

wisdom is truth 

How do we find this

to live 

life

Is life the things we see

moving in the world around us 

passing around and among us

do I need them to live

do we need what can not live without

and still have life 

the mind stores the sum of human 

knowledge, memories, emotion

the essence of my soul 

the wisdom of generations passed down 

the memories of the living

the emotion of my heart

one can be alive but have no life

one cannot live and have no soul

My ramblings follow no flow

nothing of what I need is for you

you have nothing I need

 

what can I not live without is nothing made in the world

it is made in the depths and fires 

the suffring, joy, sorrows and radiance of humans

it builds us the value is above life it's self 

the soul

the soul

the soul

the soul 

the soul

have you grown bored 

or are you one of the lucky few 

the ones who sees the power 

Power of those simple words

simple and powerful 

i can not live with out the power contained in my mind 

much like the artist with no passion

the student with no teacher

the child with no wonder

I have no talent 

I only have my knowledge 

my apprcation of all aspects of life

my thirst for all knowledge from any source 

I could never be with out this insatiable thirst
