For me, like biting into a summer peach with a razor’s blade hidden inside its flesh, Life’s pain and sweetness Startles. Raw and shocking, But still so sweet. Given the choice to foreknow the juice that runs down my chin Will soon be mingled with tears and lifeblood. Mine Yours Ours I still take the bite of Life With no hesitation. For I have come to just treasure the experience of life …all of it… Its raw, windswept, Sunrise-laden, barefoot shit and splendor. Time changes all. Into time everything is birthed Out of time, everything dies But is reborn again Like another moonsparkle on an ocean wave. We rise and shine and fall back into the great Sea to rise again Another way perhaps. But for now we shine and that is enough-.Jacob Nordby –
