… as complex and beautiful as the infinite realm of human thought and emotion. But as finite and clear as the permanence of death.
Am I an artist because of your love for me or do you love me because I am an artist? I suppose it is a continuum, agency and structuralism, nature and nurture.
Balance is not being complete, rather being whole. In this Equinox I have found an understanding… find order in the chaos and bring chaos to order, shadows of light and stars in the sky. I am meant to be all.
Flames dance because of the air, rivers run because of the earth. Let me be your air, bringing passion and inspiration, while you are my earth, giving me foundation and guidance.
Who am I to call you stable? Who am I to need you? I may be nothing, I may be no one. But not to you.
We are polar and therefore balanced.
An immortal god is as finite and clear as the permanence as death. The eternal life of a human is as complex and beautiful as the infinite realm of thought and emotion.
Be my god for I am your mortal.
Neverending with ineffable love.
