Literature Text

You can walk many paths for as long as the wind blows,
You can dance through illusions, for as long as the sun shines,
You can sing praises of beauty for as long as there is life,
But you would never know the peace of heaven.

You can swim every ocean, until they all dry up,
You can run up every mountain, till they are scoured away,
You can kiss the gentle lips of a new born, until the last is gone,
But you would never know the pain of hell.

For those that will be, will now and will forever be,
Drawn through the ages, souls wandering for all time.  
In the realms as they are, through the time as it is,
they must follow their path as the fates did decree.

So why fight so hard? Why draw a single breath more?
because the world still spins, and love and happiness,
could be found anywhere, even within the kiss of light on a puddle,
even within the smallest grain of dirt, as long as you look hard enough.
hmmm don't really know the inspiration behind this one other then the thoughts of life atm.

I love the images conjoured by the first two stanzas, the hope building, then the third stanza breaking it; only to give hope again in the fourth - only in the tiny compared to the grand in the first two stanzas.
