Life,

like playing along with the acoustic version
of God Bless This Broken Road,

I'm no good at it.

Death,

like a coiled up copperhead
you don't see till you step on it,

I'm in fear of it.

No other option...
it's black or white.

Death should not be feared, passing shadows. It should not be welcomed either unless we are in so much pain it would be a Godsend. Death is just a fact of life, like being born and living. I think this whole thing about birth, living and death might could have had more thought put into it, but it seems it is all we have.

Haven't seen the 'white' ... but, I agree that there really is no 'gray' ...
and WAY to many dark wolves on most horizons ... 'black' is now the
basal color of far too many lives amid this 'Runaway American Dream' ...

Once, a few years ago, I awoke in the middle of the night and my right eye saw the room as black (as black as it is in your bedroom in the middle of the night anyway), but my left eye saw white - as stark and bright as the sun. Even when I closed that eye, it still saw white. The other black. This lasted about 5 or 6 minutes and scared the b-jeebies out of me. Then it slowly cleared and I saw the same from both eyes again. I saw the world, again.

Every since I never believed in only black and white, because I know black and I know white, and life is anything but.

And I strive to live everyday knowing life that way.
