Questions of a shattered shadow

What do you want to write, poet? Do you want to write about the infinite trivialities of human life? Or the immensity and enormity of the universe? What is it that you die to write? What is it that makes you want to live and observe and learn? Are you a dreamer or a dreamt one? What is it that makes you marvel and sigh, despair and cry with all the intensity of the world? Tell me poet, what is it that you want from this life which is like a drop of water in this ocean of time, from this earth which is nothing but a grain of sand lost in the expansion of the cosmos.[/FONT][/I][/COLOR]

Like they said in the "dead poets' society", all I want is to... suck out the marrow out of life.

well, this might sound pessimistic, but I doubt that I still want that. in fact, right now I'm letting life to suck the marrow out of me. I'm more of a 'giver' ya know!

+( useless thoughts of a useless person )+

A tool has a use; a slave has a use. A being is larger and deeper than use.

I want the entire ocean! I want the cosmos!

-- contains the universe

"A being is larger and deeper than use." - I would have to disagree. Every being does have a purpose, whether big or small- on the one hand. On the other- it won't matter if it ceases to exist to fullfil the purpose or 'use'. cause something else will take its place sometime. you see, nature doesn't like vacuity.

"I want the entire ocean! I want the cosmos!"~~

"heart -- contains the universe"~~ yeah it sure can contract and expand like the cosmos.

Thank you for visiting my blog NonZionist. It sure was a pleasure to visit yours.
