Enduring Choices

Timeless waves
hurtle my path
strewn with the ravages of
panting pace
unleashed, wild, knifed
knowing not
where it goes....

I endure it all
just as the patient space of existence
bears with me in spite
of all my immature acts
of vanity and vice.
A friendly relationship of give and take -
You endure me and I do too.....

Beautifully written.... especially the zest you get after you endure the bliss of life. It's indeed not easy but after attaining you get everything.

Keep Writing.
