Freedom
Touching and beautifully written.
And so I keep talking
Until the tears
Stop falling
And so I keep walking
Until the path
Is worn solid
And so I keep looking
Until the hereafter
Reveals peace
And so I keep writing
Until the words
Speak truth
And so I keep fighting
Until my heart
Belongs to me
And so I keep loving
Until my spirit
Is free
Charles Bukowski – The Laughing Heart
The Laughing Heart
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
~Charles Bukowski
