You are indestructible.
Not impregnable like a fortress,
but deeply vulnerable and exposed.

Life will enfold you
in its embrace.
There is no escape.

She will seduce you
with ecstatic highs—
demolish you
with devastating lows.
Bore you with listless ennui,
exhaust you
with manic enthusiasms.

You will feel every blow
as Life dismantles you,
cracks you open,
picking at the pieces.

You will Love
and you will lose what you love.
Every anchor point will shift
as bedrock melts into quicksand.

Hopes and dreams,
fears and nightmares
will fade away like mist,
exposing your centre
to the unflinching gaze of the divine.

Pristine, pure, clear—
pregnant, vibrating emptiness.

For you are indestructible.
