Life Chasers

Author: cafetwo2010

Hope against hope..
We chase the dream
of life through a
decaying cosmos..

Trying to outrun
the vortex which
shall snatch us
into eternal night

The maze..

The paradox of dream
and reality..

Behold! The vastness!

Look over your shoulder..

It cometh!

The shadow of
consumation..

Yet, fear not..

Death..has been
swallowed up
by life~

Ty Odette.. Hope springs eternal?

Ty Fellsman.. I suppose the subject could become to complex if overexplained. It's really a basic instinct for life we possess and hope is the word.

Ty Happy..' So true. We don't need to be able to answer every objection to lifes mysteries to live day to day. We can never give someone our faith, we can only share it. But everybody can experience the hope of life based on their own very real experience.
