The sky darkens around the edges
And the orange glow of the sunset
Blinds the horizon
Clouds cast in red and gray
Obscure the sky
And hide the stars
From lighting the way
The antagonist of my day
The dark night tempts
And mocks
Calling out
Begging for life
And making promises
That it never keeps
Glowing street lights
On empty streets
The distant flashing lights
And cars pass by
Never stopping
No one will take notice
And the lonely night
Will be the same
Like rewinding the tape
This part is played over
And over again
Fixated on what is not
Unable to find the change
The night passes by
And the cars never stop
As through a window
Looking into life
The observer ignores the glass
For what it is
The glares
Are not for want
Nor for pity
For a window when closed
Is only to keep out the bad
While the beauty of the world beyond it
Remains clearly visible
Yet the glass is easily broken
Or dirtied by the sands of time
Only then will the glass be noticed
Broken
Dirty
Failing to provide
A perfect view of the world
While sheltering those behind it
From all that is bad
And in the night
The dark and cold night
The shades are drawn
People turn away
For the glass can expose them
While the night passes by
And the cars never stop
M: Ok Mr. Two-Inch Penis....
B: What are you talking about?
M: These guys going by on motorcycles. I've farted more impressive than those crotch-rockets sound....
Classic.
I take my time
Unraveling the day
The week
The time
Time always
Takes time
Time to fix
What time has wrought
What people take for granted
I cannot
What some people cherish
Eludes and mystifies
As time moves on
Ever faster
The clouds roll quickly above
The storm trashes
In its violent song
Of thundering drums
And trumpeting winds
The water clinging and falling
From leaves
To the ground
Like plucking harp strings
And tugging on heart strings
As the storm goes
Sometimes raging
Sometimes a beautiful song
Then lost in a silent peace
Like the beauty of an angel
Sleeping on the pillow
Beside me
In the dim glow
Of moonlight
And in quiet sighs
Of breath and dreams
The new day will begin
The footprints left behind
On ground on which we tread
Glow in the redden light
Of every sunset
And the dawn
The golden light of dawn
Lights the path ahead
Leading us ever forward
Begging us to never look back
At the footprints left behind
Still we are doomed to relive
That which we have already left
In the sand
And we dig in the waves
To retrace the footprints
And bask in the warm light
Of past suns
And past days
Of better days
But we find in the sand
What time has wrought
The hardened
And jagged memories
Shipwrecks on the rocks
With ghosts pulling us back
To the empty hulls
And shells of our days
Filled with storms
And white capped waters
Rushing over the rocks
We thought we could navigate
Ignorant of what was hidden below
What we could not see
What is now so clear behind us
In the glowing sunlight of tomorrow
And in the light of this day
That lies ahead
We can bask
And learn to love
We can rest
And learn the secrets
That time has offered us
Disguised as the thunder
And the wind
And the music of the rain
Striking the ground
Filling the oceans
And washing away the footprints
Of yesterday
We long to elevate
To ascend beyond
What we have already lived
And what we already know
But we cannot see
Facing the winds of the storm
Closing our eyes
We fight forward
Hopelessly tied to our past
Reaching for the light ahead
Unsure if it is the hope
And warmth of the sun
Guiding us to tomorrow
Or the lightning crashing
The next storm
We must endure
The rocks still hide below
As we navigate through the storms
To the safety of the shore
We can be the angel sleeping
To hide from the storm
Or take wing and soar
Through the tree tops
With the wind
We can seize the lightning
If only we could walk away
From the flowing waters
The hidden rocks
And the footprints
Left in the sand
Finding what it all means
And finding my place
My place in life
My place to grow
And where I need to be
Where I want to finish my days
Against the winds of the storm
Or sheltered
In the safety of the house I’ve built
Reliving the past
Or living for the sun of tomorrow
Brave enough to face
The storm on the next horizon
And open my eyes
And offer my heart
And give all my love
To face the lightning
And the winds
And say
I’m ready
I’m ready for tomorrow
And I can soar
Towards the sun
Rising beyond the black clouds
That I face
Everyday
...
My legs
Heavy and numb
My feet throb
The miles away
My eyes
Watch them
These conveyances
To lead me to
Or lead me from
That which causes pain
When happiness was
The sought
The desire to be
But now I walk
An endless circle
This inescapable path
That leads to and from
...

I am taking "conveyances" from this read and my mind is already in the playground teasing out my own. I loved...
damn you...I wasn't going to write today but now...well now I have to. Beautiful as always even if a might bit sad. *hugs*

wow...the bee...wow.
Oh wow, these are so beautiful! I am with Morrigon though, the bee... wow.
I love the doe. And the weed with the blacktop. :) Wonderful pics.

neeples!
awesome... that really brings back memories.
every once in a while, i call people EEDIOT!
NIPPLES! I LOVE YOU!!!
errr what were you looking for when you found that ?? hehehehe
…I’ll admit it. This cartoon is some of the funniest simple pencil and paper cartoons I’ve seen since “Life in Hell.” If you don’t know it, look it up.
This particular cartoon… sums up a lot of things I’ve been trying to say for quite some time now…
This is so me...

But you know, at least you have the desire to be honest.
O.O
Smirks~
Art is right.. that whole rant was just an excuse to use the word nipple...
....I'm so ashamed.
Wait.. no.. no I'm not.

...and one big honkin'
COMMENTS
one big ? I thought most times they came in pairs ?
*shivers with excitement*
hehehehe
lol... oh hell.. he is out of the House with his Nipple craze now. :)
I bet a big nipple like that when honkin' would sound like a-OOOOH-ga (emphasis definitely on the "ooooh.")
P.S. Don't let me see nipples again. You're my bud, but I am a member of the Nipple Nazis and I'll suspend this journal faster'n you can say...I can't think of anything right now, but it would be really darn fast !
I think it's "Faster than you can say 'mamailian protruberance'" Joli.
I'll join Morrigon and enjoy the suffering. I might even pop some popcorn. This is fun!
I lost... gawd.. I can't even count...
...11 posts?
Had to take off a sock.
Hey, whaddayaknow, I'm still a sire.
If your post count and thusly your status has suffered that greatly you have one of a few problems:
1. You haven't been here long enough for your time and pages viewed to carry the weight of your status. Spend some time, click some ads, buy a PM. Don't be in such a friggin' hurry to just "level up."
2. You've posted to way too many crap threads. Stop with the "A to Z" and "What is your favorite..." bullshit and add something to the site if you want to post.
3. You're a whinning fucktard and are probably bitching over something completely minor anyway. Odds are you bitch every time it rains or when you briefly saw Janet Jackson's nipple for less then 2 seconds. Get over it.
Too harsh?
COMMENTS
Wow. Have some zuchini and relllaaaaxxxx. :)
You called them a fucktard, I've never seen you call a person a fucktard. O.o
And you've hit the nipple on the head with that one...or..something.
o.O
... any excuse to say the n word LOL
Thank you! Freakin' whiny little bastards need to get over themselves. :p
Brava!!

There are so many stunning places in this work:
"the orange glow of the sunset
Blinds the horizon
And the lonely night
Will be the same
Like rewinding the tape
Only then will the glass be noticed
People turn away
For the glass can expose them
While the night passes by
And the cars never stop"
And of course:
"making promises
That it never keeps"
This reads right into my soul, my friend. It wasn't easy to read...it was experienced and felt. I may even have learned a thing or two.
