I do not fear death ... ........

I do not fear death ... 

I fear what is to life without beauty. 

I fear a cage without a soul. 

I fear a story without a heart. 

To these things I fear more than 

the possibility of a hazard rather than echoes of defeat, 

rather than the scars it leaves pain 

rather than brands that time is slowly leaving my skin.

 
I suffer from the disease of 'I-want-all'. 

I want everything that I can be at all times. 

I want the whole essence that is capable of extracting the bones of life, 

with every breath stolen and given word. 

I want it all and to become all I have to first learn how to be one, 

and love here and live and breathe this now.
