"For
every
mortal,
Life
can only
shave
its
face once" -Michael Lachney
Then as the severed fall to Earth,
let the razor leave its mark,
so as to feed the soil
with the hopes that something grows.
For I am just a child
in this Living World,
with roots and leaves,
a mindless beast who still believes
that we can still live wild.

Now this is different. A wonderful read short and to the point. I like the fact that it would have still made sense without the quote. Love the last two lines in this poem. They pack a punch like you would not believe. I think it's a wonderful piece that will be considered in judging. Thanks for entering my contest.
