'Life & Living'

Gathering life where you might fit,

With seamless folds that itch

And chafe against all reason,

To tear your mind

The bold adventures you long for,

The burdens that tie you down

Those expectations to conform,

Press upon your spirit

Or be free in every moment,

To live like no other

To find your fire,

As you roam the boundaries

To paint your life in bold strokes,

And surge against the tides

To be a wild pebble rolling,

Beyond the worn down rocks

Or smooth those creases,

Fit those folds

Embrace those silken cords of silence,

That wrap around your life
