as i sit in the bitter wind of a place I never thought could exist
i contemplate the nature of mortality.
can the mind survive without feeling?
is there really a soul, or is that just another comforting fairy tale?
i contemplate the nature of mortality
shivering in a fever of doubt.
is there really a soul or is that just another comforting fairy tale?
can the body live without hope?
shivering in a fever of doubt
i’m lost in the dark limitations of imperfection.
can the body live without hope?
no definitive conclusions are possible…but it passes the time…
i’m lost in the dark limitations of imperfection.
can the mind survive without feeling?
no definitive conclusions are possible, but it passes the time
as I sit in the bitter wind of a place I never thought could exist.
