Greatness

I dreamed about you before we ever met.

+

We don't always age so gracefully.
+
If you never burn
you'll never know
the sweet taste of ash.
+
As wonderful as life may be
remember:
there will always be those willing
to cut your throat away.



Greatness
The great struggle is never 
the moments that are
Immortalized
in story, stone and verse.

The great struggle
is the struggle of being.

The sense of 
purpose(lessness?)
is daunting.

We romanticize 
the immortals 
as being so far beyond
what any of us can comprehend
or are capable of.

Great deeds come not from great individuals
but from ordinary individuals bent on becoming great.
