It is when death is without that we most are and only when we’re without that death is. There is therefore no rationality in the fear of death for in death we find certainty and and in its absence, our innate tendency to break.
It is in our grandeur that we’re most insignificant for in the in between is where it is most intangible and beyond, although we seek, is illusive and without guarantee. So, it is with the trappings of the world that we seek a stay from it and pray death be visited upon death and in the trappings of mind that we invent hope and water whittled flowers.
So immortalised stand the ambitions of men and cast to the wind are the stones built around his morbidity and in the end, victory in the loss of fear but courage in the realm of this unknown finds no reward.
Thus we cling…helplessly we cling.
It is when death is without that we most are and only when we’re without that death is.
Thus we cling…helplessly we cling.
