Wait

How long will blood run cold?
Seven eternities, I’ve been told.
Generations wax and wane,
But our ignorance remains unchanged.
Love is a hut, we are tenants,
A piece of our mind is how we rent it.
Unknowingly riding the horse of death as.
Cherry blossoms are but a second.
The only reason we can’t change fate,
Is because we don’t do anything but wait.

Joseph, this was amazing. Especially enjoyed this part: "Love is a hut, we are tenants, A piece of our mind is how we rent it." Lovely! Bravo!
