I’ve been tagged by my good friend, Baekho to write a six-word memoir. This concept apparently came about due to Hemingway who summarized his own life in the following six words:
For Sale: Baby Shoes, never worn.
Personally, I’m not all too familiar with Hemingway and was at first confounded by his choice of words. Actually, [...]

None by the path that he would go;
And always be for change prepared,
For the world’s law is ebb and flow.

There was a stirring all around, the soothing restlessness of peace, of the emerging day. Here disappeared the panting rush of the world. No tune to dance to, no rhythm to step to. Silence was music and the dance was stillness.

Let rivers flow
Flow red with hate

Empty into oceans
Red oceans

Every child red
For whose sight is red

Red to demise

You may try
And
You may test my words
You may gather the rivers
And
You may gather the oceans
You may disperse them upon the greatest of fires
Yet
The heart’s desires are not extinguished
Every other light may burn out
Though
Every other candle may burn out
The heart’s desires are not extinguished

And change thyself with many a twist and turn;
Thou wast not born for tile solace of the shore;
Arise, untamed, and find a path for thyself."
