Hunger For Life

"The unwavering human desire for perpetuity"
 
                                                  --by poet--







                                              Hunger For Life




Desperation reason with destiny to depose inevitability and find utopian coast

Longevity is not an impervious spiritual armor weakened by an invasive ghost

Inculcated within thoughts are prognostications of inexorable advancing years

Endeavors defying the rules of gravity regrettably culminate in shedding tears



Polar winds menace leaves steadfastly clinging on as tainted skies appear dim

Beyond freezing horizons anonymous newly departed faces wander in tandem

Grey whales returned and blizzards withdrew except old towns are in disarray

Hunger for life contesting dreadfulness anticipate the dissolution of a blue day
