It's been too long
when the earth parted from the waters
there is
a chasm between good and evil
the time between light and darkness
the profound tragedy between life and death
or the mirage between life and life
all these
they will come together and they will fill this void
of our perplexity
on one side troubled waters
that don’t give me answers
as if flooding over me with secrets
that burden
my ignorance even more
on the other side
the dauntlessness of the wild mountain
where an almost vertical slope
makes me understand
something about flying
and between the two of us a precipice
feeding with separations
staying with its mouth open
to hungrily swallow something

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
