"The Laughing Heart" It's one of my favourite poems; it's from the book "Betting on the Muse" by Charles Bukowski.
We're reminded to take hold of our life and live it to its fullest, no matter the inevitability of death, someday. To to live life fully, and as often happens; when things are not going the way we would like, to grasp onto even the smallest glimmer of light.
The Laughing Heart - by Charles Bukowski.
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
