Life

To be alive is to be ignorant of everything that really matters

We who are created in darkness

Wake in the light of the golden sun

Yet we never truly shake the shadows of our own conception

We simply ignore them and act as if all is bathed in light

As if we could see our place and product

Instead we see our own vainglory

And just make up excuses

We see our own mortality

And just act as if we were immortal

We take the love and friendship of others

And throw it to the harshest winds

But I implore you no more

Do not turn your back on love

Do not dash hope against the rocks

Do not live as if you are promised another dawn

Live now

Live in this very moment

And live truly like a god
