| It will be last headache and joy and point in long-long way, that’s finally abridged by steps with journey to the death enriched. It will be real past that future 'd joined. And both times - old and new -are invisibly joint, but they’ll be visible suddenly like switched in being as fulfilled and reached and out of worthless dust to gold re-coined. Pain travels with us. May be - moving us towards in evolutionary fuzz, and particles of the troubles are everlasting. Our world endure because we tolerate and thus existence has its own rate proportioned by the fact that seeds are casting. |
