resolute fearlessness, fortitude and endurance

four five seconds from wildin'

There is a lot of meaning in that there line.  At least a lot to me and where I happen to find myself again.
Life takes place quickly. And much like a race to eat an ice cream in the heat of summer, you end up with brain freeze and hands so sticky you can't do anything but wash yourself clean and drink a tonne of water to take away the sweetness and subsequent headache.
Life makes you melt, it makes you freeze, it makes you crave and it makes you obliviant to the mess.
She's done it again. She's consumed.
And she's turning her face towards the sun, letting the shadows fall behind him.
He's done it again.  He's infused.
And he's leaning his heart against the gun, letting the ammo fall around her.

four five seconds from the war
four five seconds from the fall
four five seconds from their lives
four five seconds from the cure
four five seconds from the crawl
four five seconds from what survives.

Sounds of the wind blowing the clouds over the moon, continuous and cursory in nature, cover the light and the night becomes intrepidly vague. Resolute fearlessness, fortitude and endurance is what I wish it would be, not gusts, not tempests but rather a strong breeze of ease and direction to see.  However it's both inherit and inherent that we haven't seen that unless we peel off the armour and the squalor we'll always be the moon. Whether it's left or right, we'll stay where we are. Whether it's up or down, we'll love from afar. Here on earth it's a hurricane, it's chaotic and it's mundane. It's unforgiving and it's useless to us all. Life takes place quickly and while the world spins, we slip off and into a war, a sticky melted ice cream that only gives temporary satisfaction away from the heat, the sun and the core.

If life happens quickly, things need to change. We need to change. We need to adapt to survive and it has to happen in tune with the earth; spin ourselves clean, spin ourselves free, spin ourselves out of proclivity. So stretch out your arms, hands, fingers and soul and turn this around.
