When you read this, post a bit of poetry in your journal.

Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent

For Thine is the Kingdom

For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Bits of T.S. Eliot's "Hollow Men."
