Free Falling the Journey

Hidden among the shaded cosmic growth,

Rules made to be broken off the straight trail,

Wait unexpected obstacles,

As compass readings that mean something,

Portend risk.

Settle not for pyrrhic victory.

Seek not the programmed timetable.

Bungee jump with the passions of intellect.

Breathe deeply the sweet ether of the mind's lungs.

Retire the notion Life be a bitch and then you die.

Life only asks to be understood.

It knows not the ceasing of a heartbeat,

Or the void of breath.

For those who embrace the endless seasons,

Life remains a glorious cycle of matter's existence,

Man included.
