Catch a glimpse of this candle,
dancing in your eyes.
Now bring your finger to it’s flame,
feel the burn ignite your pain.

See the beauty of this infant, watch it grow –
live, harmonize, mature.
Now watch that creature wither, faint, decay.

Watch love tumble down, see animosity permeate the heart,
Watch the heart’s repentance to love, and see hate only scatter,
away and directionless into oblivion.

Catch the resounding roar of the mind’s epiphany,
follow along the journey it will lead to, whether good or bad.

Witness optimism lead to disgust and surrender to the defeat of life,
Watch pessimism birth hope and embrace the grandeur of life.

What is life but a few stones unturned, but a few promises unbroken?
What is love but communion and intimacy, tempered by shortcomings and heartache?
What is human nature but the constant struggle of mind and soul?
What are tears of pain but balanced by tears of joy?
