A Poem For The Lost.
The Laughing Heart
- Your life is your life
- Don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
- Be on the watch.
- There are ways out.
- There is a light somewhere.
- It may not be much light but
- It beats the darkness.
- Be on the watch.
- The gods will offer you chances.
- Know them.
- Take them.
- You can’t beat death but
- You can beat death in life, sometimes.
- And the more often you learn to do it,
- The more light there will be.
- Your life is your life.
- Know it while you have it.
- You are marvelous
- The gods wait to delight
- In you.
- Charles Bukowski
