The Divergence
I have arrived at a divergence within the realms of my own perception
Am I to live the life I have always cherished, or the existence I am going to swoon
Do I gnaw at the peach, tenderly, softly, slurping the golden sap and nibbling the fruit for my consumption
Do I welcome the warm sun but adore not the moon
Soak in its heat and glow but slumber away happily while it is away as I pretend I am immune
Enrapture in the kind affection of the son but pleasantly disregard the wrath and judgment of god
Or will I sink my teeth into the hot flesh tearing it, a direct course to the core of life in tune
Choking down the dry blistered heart of undeviating truth not accepting the facade
To strip away my body discovering nothing but dirt and sod
To wilt until I feel the utter truths of life echo through my carcass,
To observe and undergo all torment and bliss not flawed
To wash my mind with twilight of the moon and endure the ice and dusk, awaiting the true dawn from the darkness
To face the earthly godhead
I must ask myself; Does my thirst for life exceed my hunger for daily bread
