I had walked alongside time and death since my first breath.
As time drew lines and filled my mind, death watched.
Never lurking but always looming.
With need and want aligning, several questions were raised.
With no answers received, I smiled and walked down a path covered by a haze of uncertainty.
Not knowing when death would come, I plucked my dream from my mind and held it in my hands.
Failure came followed by bouts of unadulterated happiness.
This was life.
