Is Life Just

By BARBAROSSA

Is life just
one slow cold dark march towards death
Fireflies, marshmallows, intersperse
our journey
a slow cold march past death's
icy facades which hide
the warm hearth of Love
Projected there.

Warm Hearths
shivering defeated
at the inevitable
Slow cold dark march past death

Is that all there is

    NO! NO! NO!

The warm hearth lies projected there
Snuggle up in an empty space
warming an empty heart
enjoy the slow cold walk onto
Recreating as we create defeat death.
