Shuffling along, as the dust builds with every labored step; the heart numbs to the outer world, while the body aches with pains, filling the mind with an uneasiness. Bubbles of dread, despair, and an overwhelm creeping down a depressed path. Shoulders carrying a heavy load, forcing the chin to the floor.
Light footsteps, floating with an internal song, creating the rhythm that keeps the pace. Limbs swinging with grace and ease, almost in a constant state of dance. Eyes focused on the sky above, with a sweet smile, full of gratitude and excitement for the joy that continues to unfold.
The dark in the night brings either terror or ease. The reflection we see feels prideful and calm or ugly and shameful. Our actions are with intention and love or obligation and disdain. The life we lead brings life to others or draws from the energy of those living.
Are you alive? Or waiting to die?
