Opportunity is on vacation,
Utilized skill is buried under the wasteland,
Terminal saltiness is aboard every vehicle,
Redialed creativity might as well be
As rare and unusual as an albino lion,
Get a chance to be inspirational and
Every day you will have a bullseye on you,
That sort of thing can follow you,
Right on your back like a talented bodyguard,
Across the years it becomes a point of pride,
Nothing could stop you after a week like this,
So just close out those who cannot see that
From the outside tension to here with you,
Every touch from you is lightning shared,
Ready to climb with you anywhere

Completing the circle at the end of this year,
Opening a package filled with pictures,
Making a meal from so far away,
Playing a game without rules or pieces,
Laying down no longer a guarantee of sleep,
Incentives to work harder fading away,
Many of the days this month seem way too long and
Exit just seems like a delay of the inevitable,
Nobody calls anymore and emails all from strangers,
Tearing up paper a display of cleaning house,
Summer was tough and so is winter,
Temperatures not even the important part,
Optional choices are sleep and food these nights,
Ridiculous people don’t bother us here,
Maybe we should escape more often,
Completely ignore the world for a day,
Let down your guard and do what you want,
Organize your strength and stand up straight in life’s hurricane,
Unless we love cool and kiss and trust,
don’t know where I would be without you

on the power of one day’s concentration
vocal as a concert audience
energy has begun to rise up once again
red sunsets like a reminder about tomorrow
leaving the past in its drawer
otherwise facing the storm with no armour
only my destination matters to me anymore
keep on rolling right on through after
chugging enough beer and shots for a construction crew
haven’t stopped now and won’t anytime soon
offering up my life to make your existence better
signals which I know means I will always help you
eventually the waves crash together
need you in my life now more than ever

Art, literature, myth and cult, philosophy,

and ascetic disciplines are instruments to help the individual past his limiting horizons

into spheres of ever-expanding realization. As he crosses threshold after threshold,

conquering dragon after dragon, the stature of the divinity that he summons to his

highest wish increases, until it subsumes the cosmos.. Finally, the mind breaks the

bounding sphere of the cosmos to a realization transcending all experiences of form—all

symbolizations, all divinities: a realization of the ineluctable void…

the things we remember after all the years are like
a furious wheel that will not stop
in the edge of our minds if it is enough impact
letting the mind know where not to go
can you see the next years end and
have you seen again your best friend
all of us suffer in our own way
stay the person you know you should be
every distraction is just something to avoid
