step in the same river tw22ce."
I know of this
just as

day,
I will
n0T.
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh....'
With each moOOoving embrace
the river caresses the pebbles
ssZzzZzleeping on its bank
It's flow never tamed,
the pebbles on their long journey
to far away seas.
With time,
the river is suddenly
n0 m0re.
UuHhhhhhhhhh!'

+++ from life to death ---
the voices from within whisper:
'n3v3r m0r3...'
“We fear death, we shudder at life's instability, we grieve to see the flowers wilt again and again, and the leaves fall, and in our hearts we know that we, too, are transitory and will soon disappear. When artists create pictures and thinkers search for laws and formulate thoughts, it is in order to salvage something from the great dance of death, to make something last longer than we do.”
Hesse, H. 1930. Narcissus And Goldmund. Berlin: S. Fischer Verlag.
