Life comes and goes
in fanciful
waves,

I've paused to watch
it ebb
then flow.

I hardly claim to own
but crave,
its stark, yet endless,
glow.

I've seen my stones
upon the ground,
each name inscribed in
black.

I've died this death
so many times,
but the soul remains
intact.

So true, so dead;
I've come to mourn
it's truth, this death;
I've been reborn.

I'll ride this swell,
as before,
awaiting the next landing
on sandy shore.

Immortality is my illusion.

trapped inside a funhouse
mirrors mock serenity
so I started breaking them--
now there's more of me to flee.

Yours is so much more hopeful.

I like to see you all dressed in rhyme--
it's just that added "bling", yanno?

Of course you do.

Nite, Philip. I'm gonna try pounding pillows instead of the keys for awhile.

How many times do
we suffer la petite morte
only to be reborn?

Well done, Philip!

Masked -- How many deaths do we die before we get it right? I heard it was about every seven years. .........Really enjoyed your writing -- so much!

sounds like fun to me...I'd rather be riding than landing, which is where I sit now...

I think the ride is worth the landing sometimes, then sometimes not
