Solace

Solace does not exist.
It is a word devoid of meaning.
Unrepentant of the sin it creates.

It implies complacent acceptance
of the the things we cannot change,
and that ever voracious courage
to know the difference....

Solace is no more than
the humble acceptance of failure.
The giving in to the inevitable,
The Lie of defeat.

Somethung we all know,
and desire not
to share its embrace.
For we are human....

and must protest that fact
so loudly
that all the other creatures cringe
at our cowardice.

Animals think in the singularity.
Human;s strive for the unnattainable.
Who is better off?

At what hearth do you keep warm?
Or do you langour in the cold.

Solace does not exist,
only the comfort of the moment sustains life,
and when that moment fades,
so do we.

Humans live in the moment too,
It;s just that our moment is larger
that those creatures at our stead.
Only because we often live longer
than they.

Time is a matter of perspective
depending upon the lifespan of your
species.

Time well spent
acquiring that which is valuless
when you leave here.

Time well enjoyed,
simply by being alive,
and gathering nothing more
than memories
to take with you when you leave
so that you never forget that the journey....
is more more important
than the destination.

We all get to be
where we need to be
eventually.

It's HOW we get there that matters.
Do we tread lightlty on the stones of years?
Or do we shift mountains in our wake?

Some are meant for both,
and some neither.
It does not lessen your footprint,
nor alter your path.

It only increases the amount of time
that people will talk about you
after you have gone.

If that is your goal,
Than you need another,,,,,
