Untainted life?

You better read it yourself.

The king of the jungle,

only king a long time before

The king of the urban,

soon makes himself king no more.

The queen of ice,

scorned through a complex web of lies

The queen of fire,

never loved as things too close she fries

The knight of the far,

the brave hero with excellent perception

The knight of the near,

is only that because of trickery and deception

The man of here,

The man of now,

wish they were somewhere else

and soon was there with them.

The woman of there,

The woman of soon,

pray the distance here-there further

and that soon were past and forgotten,

The place of nowhere in darkness,

is real and scary for

The kid of evil,

who's trouble finding a path he's never been on,

The way of everywhere and light,

is there wide and waiting for

The child of good,

who's pure and giving as any kid,

The stuff of dreams,

is up for grabs for anyone

but few think their allowed.

The pit of reality,

traps many who gives in to its depth

but only refugees can appreciate its width.

The question of life,

is a neverending and paradoxical trick.

The reason,

to make the end occur never

The answer,

never give your dreams a break

The solution,

break the loop and make it your own

The truth,

own up to the fact

that

The master of all,

you'll never become

but if you try you still have won

A good read, enjoyed the zooming lens, in then out, making the same image appear different. There is a rythym, I like rythym, optimism with a reminder to not forget reality but at the same time, use it to your advantage. Haven't read any of your other stuff yet, but you've got me intrigued.

"The master of all,
you'll never become
but if you try you still have won"

Perfect ending. That brings the rest together, and taken as a whole I'd say your philosophies on life are admirable. Actually, this makes me want to run off and work on things I'm no good at, because when it comes to creativity in particular there really is no doing it wrong.

Thank you. I'm glad I inspired you to take a step out for the comfortable zone.
