The Chaff Remains
Dreams in decline.
Waning expectations,
Lowering our self-esteem.
Hallowed offerings pruned; expunged.
Did we lose hope?

Today's Tendril... Midnight Oil
Ambitions burned in midnight oil, When seen through the rested eyes of tomorrow, Do not always have the charm and allure,That they did, The night before. |

The Lines of Exploration
Reality is the exploration of the lines that we draw—
Within our hearts,
To complete a task,
For the sake of balance,
As the scaffolding of dreams,
At the intersection of fact and fiction,
Around the highest of priorities,
To connect the unseen dots,
In the logic of appearances,
Among the living (and the dead),
Between the heavens and the hells,
Along the stitches and staples of memories,
And on the pages of our lives...

Between the heavens and the hells,
Along the stitches and staples of memories,
And on the pages of our lives...

Glistens and Gray
-click image for larger version-
The day both glistens and is gray.
The breeze flows like a stream,
If only I could find the time,
Oh, what a day...
The breeze flows like a stream,
And the tree tops do sway.
If only I could find the time,
To while away a few hours,
Just thinking and dreaming,Then that would be,
A day to remember.
Oh, what a day...
