'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
