Vigilant

The insane rhythm of self destruction is easy
Natural
Instinctual swirls in the sand
Traced by the hand of an ancient
Child

The vigilant discord of self care is demanding
Foreign
Learned rubbing on the tombstones
Scrapped by the gnarled fingers of youthful
Maturity

We keep what we have only with vigilance
