paint

painting red

i tread the valley of the unknown
along hell's gate
and painted, from its riverside

the paradox of being
the culmination of fear
the irony of life

is it that strange that i do not possess the fear of death?

sean: red is the color of blood / life

pink: they are just words .. a reaction, of some sort, towards those who treat religion as a joke . you know, double standards and all .. i live on the edge but at least i owe up to it .

i interpreted something simpler, nothing religious (though i did suspect something odd with "hell's gate") haha.

ever tried reading dina zaman's i am muslim? something to think about.

I always associate red with blood.

Then again, blood to me, as a medical student, is symbolic of both life and death.

you're in search of your true self in spite knowing all around you things aren't always pretty (hence the hell's gate), yet you try to see the beauty in life nonetheless (painted from its riverside).

and that's the irony of life, tadaa.simple stuff.

that's interesting. there's some sense in what you wrote.


i tread along hell's gate, because i have no problem with sin. and being there gave me perspective.

"i tread along hell's gate, because i have no problem with sin. and being there gave me perspective."

wisely put.

to sin is human. to gain perspective and repent, is being a wise human. :)

however, common sense is not so common these days. and being wise, is highly judged by others. unfortunately.
