More Sweet Than Bitter?
Soundtrack: "Behind Me Lies Another Fallen Soldier" by As I Lay Dying
I've been lax with the poetry the last couple days, and I apologize for that. Here's my latest offering, it came to me tonight after watching Memoir Of A Geisha. Life, in it's most simple terms, is a series of bittersweet moments. But these moments are all that we have... and we should relish each of them.
I should probably just post the poem before I start sounding like a Japanese Anime from the 90's.
These Bitter Herbs
Will you drink this cup
It's bitterness is sweet to the taste
These moments float like petals upon water
Will you take these steps?
Once again I walk away
My bitterness is sweet on my lips
I must relax this hardened fist
Will you walk with me?
About Me
- Toph©
- I'm Toph, and I'm an addict. I've been working off and on to finish up a degree in Graphic Design. It's fun stuff, and some day I'll have my own design studio with wood floors and brick walls in some sort of old warehouse or garage. And it will have a pool table, and I shall name it Steve. I love my friends and my family. They are all supercool people and I'd totally take a bullet for them. I love studying religion and philosophy. To me God is the ultimate big question and I am constantly searching out and learning as much as I can about the subject. I also love geek culture, especially Star Wars and video games. I've fallen in love with a girl who is more fun than a swift kick in the pants. That's a lot of fun, folks.
