New Dawn Approaching

We used to look at the orange, pink and purple of a dying Sun on a tranquil afternoon trembling slightly with the exhilaration of new twilight as darkness her cool and glittering blanket o'er us drew Then it became old fashioned and disco lights and fluorescent glare took it's place while we danced to rhythms that enticed and broke hearts in a swoon of booze and later grass Now that new yet older afternoon has claimed it's magic back far exceeding manmade thrills as a new dawn draws near Sign in to see full entry.

Dualism Dismantled

Is there anybody out there.......to the tune of Pink Floyd who can understand what lies beyond words, who has seen the Great Beyond unfettered by thoughts and other fictions about it? I there anyone at all?.... more Pink Floyd my lips move but nobody hears what I'm saying....inversed Pink Floyd Like Vincent and Ludwig I stand paralyzed from time to time screaming at a wall of deaf ears hoping somebody on the other side can hear If I'm the only one... then who am I? Should I leave this age of... Sign in to see full entry.

Dearest, beloved Africa

Wings and other hidden things

You gave her the wings of an eagle set her sailing to the south to an arid land far from the dragon breaking contact to preserve giving birth to a newer stranger wrestling with his roots in the desert an amalgamation of origins to swim in the ancient lake a pool of genes from everytime under the mountain the child will soon become a man and he shall sing a new song to the people who had patience when the desert turns to forrest as the new continent drifts apart at the center of the new world in...

Stay a Little Longer

Where would we be if all those who can clearly see departed in bliss and all their wisdom we'd miss Where shall we go if all those who really know fly into the sky on chariots of fire stuck in our own worldly desire Let's pray they stay to show us the way even if they for us have to fall so that we can still hear the call Sign in to see full entry.
