Alternative

"ALTERNATIVE"

love is the bastard
child of insanity.
one eternity
can alter a choice.
it isn't the air
that fills our lungs,
it is the choices 
the gods lay before 
us.
all of what we've 
chosen,
all of what we will
choose
and all of what we
will ignore. 
it is only when we
have no choices 
that we are sincerely 
vigorous.

Thank you... When I wrote it, those two lines always stuck out to me too. Gold as it were. I love those rare moments when diamonds shine through. It makes the writing.
