I do not digress

Every life I come back reborn, a lot less shaven and a bit more confused about who is the predator and who is the prey. Every decade I get smaller, my ears get larger with more hair and I gain more confidence in my ability to find food and shelter. Every year I take a little sunshine and squirrel it away inside my head to be slowly released throughout the winter. Every day I get up amazed not only to be alive but awake from a dream. Every hour I scramble around trying to make it another day. Every second I get closer to being reborn.
