An ode to a life
An ode to a life. We all start off the same way,seeking knowledge chasing dreams. As life unfolds its intentions, we realize all is not what it seems. In life, we search for balance, a perfect center of a beam. But soon it starts to slip and you feel nothing but to scream. At the world portrait there before you so much beauty but so unclean. On one side, love and compassion on the other darkened scenes. Is love a grand illusion? Why must it feel surreal? Can you feel it touch it taste it? Does it make you feel alive? No longer seeking balance is my ode to a life.
