Futures fan to form a panorama Of life as landscape, ambiguous In the finer details, sharper in the broad ones. The peaks are visible, the journey there hides Unknown, behind a thick white fog. Only revealed when confronted head on. Who is to say the peak you pursue Is the destination awaiting you? Truthfully, the […]
I am a candle’s slight flame, shivering Against a world that is sometimes lonely Casting dark arms of shadow, quivering In search for meaning. Tendrils creep slowly Against a bath of light. It’s here you show Your face, raked by warmth, raked by shadow. Your eyes, drunk upon this wavering source This flicker I am; […]
Happenstance dictates encounters of unique strands Unique to the era we as youth must blossom in Unprecedented and uncharted wholly with us as guinea pigs We have been forced into the role of spectator to every inch of the unfolding Earth Hyper aware to the goings on from the broadest sense to the most intimate […]
