chase happiness

By tdf, October 29, 2011

We are all going to die.
there are no two ways about that.
so where does that leave us?????

follow your instincts,
is my best advice.
but many choose a different path…
and many egos choose a different path.

you are born,
you enjoy the innocence of youth,
and then…
you come to realize that everyone dies,
that everyone ends…
and all, at best(?), they leave,
is their legacy…

i read once that ‘writers never die’
and maybe thats true,
for spirit can be continued in verse,
and as the scientists say,
energy is always conserved,
converted from one form to another…
but then what of a brilliant work by Burroughs,
which affects hundreds,
maybe thousands?

words, life, energy put into words,
of a long dead man,
magnified,
never dimishined in core root…

that shits in the face of the scientists.

from the christians,
the hindus,
the buddhists,
the muslims…
my only conclusion,
is…
worry about ther afterlife,
only when we enter that unknown to ALL who still live realm.
until then,
persist free and wild,
chase happiness,
for yourself and those closest to you,
for bringing joy onto your loved ones
brings joy onto you…
