A coin in the hand of a beggar, breath in the lungs of a corpse. The flower that wilts
from the sun'd embrace. Perhaps life is thus-- the ebb and flow of a moon's unrequited love, for how could the ocean return her affections? Are we yet termites clamoring for a taste of that which we cannot reach? A revolving orb marks the passage of time, yet the soul remains ageless. Life is but an imaginary friend in the mind of a babe, ever changing and growing, yet gone all together once she realizes she no longer believes. Perhaps that is the key; perhaps life is a merely a pocketful of wishes slung carelessly into a beggars cup.
