Delicate petals awaken at first
Slowly subside like the quenching of thirst
Warmth to the fore demanding attention
Undercurrents of peace too subtle to mention
Bursting with seeds preparing to sow
The scent of the dawn is ready to go

Challenges do not damage the human psyche
only our response does
by deciding to let it affect or not
you can control your strength and your weakness

Life is .....all we've got
work at it
go with it
enjoy it

No charge

Press the button
A.I. is here
Nothing to fear
Trust me
What could go wronggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Don't think I was wrong
Leaving this place
The names are the same
Just a different face
I've changed
I've grown
A better life
I chased
But
Somewhere on my journey
I missed something in my haste

Look to the future
You can't change the past
Respect for each other
Let's build a world to last

deepening crisis of common sense
all is done for recompense
digital answers free to seek
painstaking confusion
inverted peak

January
As the sun awakens
It's cold
Damp pillow
Water from the see
Reaching out
Touching the light
Painting a picture
Hidden within a gape
The view is a lie

six shades of happiness play with the sky
chase the clouds away
don't let them cry
six shades of happiness play with the sun
joy
laughter
mischief
freedom
love
and of course
fun

summer living
some just existing
autumnal call
winter fall
spring back to hope

One life
Too far
One hope
Too late

life is unique for everyone
let's not interfere because it makes us feel right
let's just accept and stop trying to change and rearrange  
complexities
that we will probably never fully understand

life is for everyone
let's not interfere because it makes us feel right
why waste energy trying to change and rearrange complexities
that we will probably never fully understand

Deepening voids in the darkness of hope
Descending free with just enough rope
Projection of dreams
A final faded lie
I'll dine on my yin
But
Have my yang with wry

pressure of descent
the nihilist stoic
madness prevails

Obsessed with war
Intimidated by life
Lost in confusion

January
As the sun awakens
It's cold
Damp pillow
Water from the see
Reaching out
Touching the light
Painting a picture
Hidden within a gape
The view is a lie

the hope of tomorrow diminished by fate
I wait for the life uninhibited by hate
futility is mine I cry in vain
this life unattached unable to attain

Artistically fascinating
Deep imaginations
Distantly unattainable

my day is a good day
my heart dreams big
ignoring the nay sayers
this is my gig

Buying A Dream
Impasse
Lifeless

Was I awake when I dreamt I was dreaming
What better time to think of life and it's meaning
Is it all that it seems
Or some mad scientists scheme
Is it real what you feel when you dream?

escaping darkness
enveloped in dreams
glimmering
watching
alive in shadow

I don't think I was wrong
leaving this place
the names are the same
but it's got a different face
I've changed and I've grown
a better life I chased
but somewhere on the journey
I missed something in my haste

I forego the future to live as now

Planning for the future
Not living for today
Look at the past
All those things
Did they go you're way??

Friday evening sails into view
Sky turns a rosy shade of blue

Rise to my feet
Stroll across the sand

Listen to the surf
Riding the land

I drunk some wine
Just to clear my mind

But
I can't stop

Thinking about you

departure gate
9:15
alone

we are all different versions of the same thing
no one better than the next
no one worse than the other
no right
no wrong
just human

Beneath the colours of the butterfly wing
A brighter world awaits the coming of the king
Wish it all past
Make light clean shade
This realm is alive
A stranger hidden glade
For this world exists but not as it seems
To reach it alone rely on your dreams
The others who are there will follow you true
As sleep passes by and life is anew

What lies before me
After all is passed

Will I remain
Stronger
Wiser
            maybe
                         prepared for the new day
                                                                      I do not know
But

I accept the challenge

A bsolute

V  isible

explain colours to the blind
define sound to the deaf
expect understanding from the ignorant

the smell of broken trees on a hot day
salty scent of travel  
aroma more powerful than Chanel

To be yourself is all you can be

Imperfection reflects beauty in its true light

sometimes

hard to give

think to please

But change will happen as we are not in control

Do I seek reparation
Do I crave adoration
Am I drawn by the critics
Am I freed by the lies
When I question my cause
My answer repeats

Without me there is nothing

I am my life

Civilised
Wildlife
City
Follows
Freedom

with the arrogance
of ego
we fool ourselves into importance

in the time of the world we are nothing

changes go on as they would

enjoy life
don't think you are more than you are

By the campfire the vision in the flame lured Sal within.

Will Cassady remain ?

As the light reaches higher

Sunset to dawn
Chill to warm


Sparks fade for another day.
