To love is to seize
to die is an earth release
a waking torch
lights dreams of living in peace
untouched
unspoiled..

but the flame,
engraves de names,
civilization,
prometheus..
logos..

in childish hands ignites

Are we ourselves?
history is a deck of mirrors
a fun house of distortions
built over the cementary of dreams..

Pass the torch to life
and all will live..
for love is no word
words banish

we are here.
to try.
for eternity goes beyond our skin..
faced upon the end

what will give?
.
.
try
, Ixtab, cielo13.

smile...and every time I love? I find I have to redefine it. It's an evolution...

enjoyed the illumination from your torch.

"History is a deck of mirrors..."

I see some nicely written metaphor here - Well done, Ixtab...
