is life love or is love life

is life love or is love life

 

 

 

love in a capsule

heading for Mars

to burn up in the red heat

to become part of the barren landscape

 

there is no life on that planet

and when we land,

 

that will not have changed

but the red heat 

will keep someone's heart

warm until its star burns out---

 

they say there is water on Mars

 

I believe on closer exploration

we will find it's tears,

One of those cliche's. Understood both ways, only with them being on seperate sides of the coin, we have to be accepting of both. Constructive/Destructive both have their uses. Thanks for sharing this view!

Live to love...love to live. The new dream...head to Mars, another barren planet...there may be water under the surface...but you're right in thinking they're tears.
Better we should go to the sun...don't worry...we'll go at night. ;>p

Space...the final frontier.

Good one, j.
