So it is

So it is.
A fact, a farce.
A mask. A diktat.
Affable anger, sarcastic smile. Misguided sentiments.

So it is.
A faucet, a leash.
A spear. Tipped with hot iron.
Unspoken words, unforgotten moments. Useless expressions.

So it is.
A fear, some hope.
A fabrication. All ill-gotten.
Of mistrusted trust, unassuming faith. Nonchalant existence.

So it is.
A risk, a game.
A story. Well told.
A feeble hold, genuine strength. Touchable memories.

So it is.
A dice, some rain.
Satisfaction. Never guaranteed.
Freeing inhibitions, plunging depths. The unassuming.

So it is.
Life. A salute.
