it is the ripe fruit that feeds out souls more deeply than the flesh could ever understand
it is the pain of the void, the emptiness of living without
It is the space we try to fill or distract from in a myriad of ways, but never succeed..
it is the very juice of life itself, the absence of which leaves everything pale, withered, meaningless
it is a nearly psychedelic thing, making every infinitesimal detail of life more vibrant and alive, engaging, real
and it is the dungeon master, the profound torture of knowing what can be and has been, but was perhaps forsaken and may never be again
it is the ideal that the romantics aspire to know
but it is also like a feral cat, a pure force of nature, wild and free

it is the reason good men may throw their lives on the balance and say if someone most lose, here I am, Let it be me
it is that ethereal thing that cannot be defined or captured, but we will always try
