Reason for Living

And perhaps the reason for living

becomes the reason for dying

if turned on its head.

makes perfect sense, especially to a poet...the reason we are here can end up the reason we aren't.

we end up dying for what we believe in...and we write so that when that turns on its head, we will leave something that proves the worthwhile of our existence.

Ahh...yes. You "get it." I wish more people did. Alas. Thanks for stopping by, Jacob.

Ma'am, way to write a meaningful sentence. You are such a wise poet.

[Diana]

Hah hah. Thank you.

The force of reaction has equal strength on both extremes. A void is one thing but the void of a known joy is a whole other matter.

[Diana]

Interesting. Thank you, Revery.
