What is hope
No more than
A condition of desire
And in desire
Always lies
A possibility
But false hope
Is not false desire
It is
To hope
Against hope
Rather
A lie of
desire

The longest day
I've ever known
was the one I
wasted
waiting
for you to miss me

My soul will sail away
And let the winds
From my troubling yesterdays
Fill its tattered sails
And carry it wayward
Bound for a better future

Although the waves will batter
And the thunder will crash
I know my vessel will reach harbor
Surviving to set sail yet again
When I find my soul restless
Longing for the next journey

Some truths
Are better left unsaid
And I'm not good
At keeping my mouth
**Shut

Lately dreams
Have been more real
Than reality
And that blank fortune cookie
Seemed oddly pointless
In my dream
But in the waking light
It seems
To have revealed
Its many messages to me
Had an odd dream last night where at one point I pulled a blank fortune from my wallet.
