My desperate embrace, my grab for life
we are
joined, but joyless – yet joy there will be
as
to live on – one must heed the decree
that
dark turns to light with a roll of the dice

Good one, and it reminds me that we have a Rodin exhibit in town that I still have to get out to see – thanks for that 😉

I’m so glad my little post served as a reminder, you cannot have a Rodin exhibit near you and not see it. I hope you enjoy it (I’m sure you will) 🙂

Great interpretation of “the kiss.” The sculpture and your words make for a powerful co-creation. ❤ MW

A verse fit for the ears of gods and goddesses. The sculpture image adds to the transcendence. Certainly, one wishes to have hope even on the darkest days. x
