When the chilly winds...

Time Has Nothing to Do but DanceA crow struts into a bar,
it's a crow, not a native American.

Lush palm fronds sway, when the day is stalling.

Time is not the enemy
time is a blob
a slippery amorphic thing
that we trust to be malleable

Gray Stillness
The still clouds across the pasture
hugging the mountains, did not stir
A blanket of gray, everywhere
brought peace to a soul that is bare
Gray stillness stopped time in a beat
There is nothing left to defeat
Only wisdom to...

pondering on what i could ever possibly do

resentment towards myself,
towards them

Late at night, you came home drunk
Not the first time

TimeTime ticks by, an endless fading of lives awry.
Time kicks and spins, but we never know where it begins.

Through the window of time, waves of souls flow, lost in darknessThrough the window of time, waves of souls flow, lost in darkness,
Through the window of dreams, I feel caught in webs of memories and eternal longings.
Through the window of destiny, the mirror of the world...

A Strange Timei hate the saying
i met you at the wrong time
or

on this planet
is a strange...
