Notes:
Life isn’t defined by words alone. It’s vast, elusive, and beyond our grasp. A mosaic of mysteries too deep to name. We must pretend, we must open our eyes, we must live rightly, as is always the way. For “life won’t go on without our share of flame”.

When happiness arrives in odd, clear light,
When joy knows no horizon, void, or night,
You’ll meet a rainbow dream, a dazzling smother,
A dizzying embrace of the “Other”.
That “Other” is the endless breath of verse,
The world will bow before it, curse reversed.
Let it press its nose into the bed,
Let limits rise where life has wildly led.
For that “Other”, centuries have no end,
No world suffices, no single line can bend.
No eyelids close, no dewdrops dare to fall,
All runs in parallel; it hears each call.
And the “Other” once again is someone new,
Though we don’t leap from windows, breaking through;
Though once again it all feels out of frame,
Life won’t go on without our share of flame.
