flourescent/red/tired/recklessly

Driving northbound on the 101...
A flourescent red sign read to me in bright bold letters: Stay Alive
As tired as I was, suddenly my eyes woke up and glanced a little harder
Taking it as more than just a sign, I thought of why these words chose me to read them
My eyebrows curled, my mind watered as my thoughts began marinating in its own creative juices.
Questions begain invading the corners of my brain:
Have i lost life lately, or has life lost me?
Stay Alive
Have I just been recklessly going thru the motions and not really taking it all in for what its realy worth?
Stay alive
Have i let lessons pass me w/o learning them yet?
stay alive
Am I aware that this life was made specific tailored to the unique sillhouette of my soul so much to forget that deep down i'm the only one who can truly evoke change in myself?
Stay Alive
Hella quiet, it was silent
My brother who was in the car with me probably thought i fell asleep...
Shit life had probably thought that too
And exhaling, I sat back glad
that this sign caught my eye because at that moment in time
I stopped time stopped,
but i stayed alive despite this contemplative infection hitting me
this reflection through poetry
this symbolism that maybe this pisces read too deep...?
but fuck it, this message wasn't gonna pass me
and its not gonna pass you either because
the world is just too infinite and unknown to let you think that it revolves around your own gravitational pull
so humble yourself in your place of miniscule time and matter relative to the universe's history
physics can't physically explain why we're all here naturally anyway.
Just take these parallel coincidental interactions as
signs to provoke action in your life each day
Got something to say? Say it. Got ideas to share? Own it. Got a chance to love? Risk it.
embrace Existence
Life live
stay alive
