Tears
Meeting
The problems must receive a solution.
Embrace.
It is that which one does without thinking that negotiate one’s existence.
One never truly knows the price that will be paid.
God’s plan.
where to start
Why? Don’t know: I am unsure of the motives that bind words and reasons to complete lines. Write! Envision a plot behind which metaphysical door? The story to be must talk of truth: relative and concrete through the transfer of time, perspectives, emotions, actions, thoughts, places and spaces. Distilled imperfections transferring heat or lack there of while its residue cling to the edge and bottom of reality.
Fame?
sisters and brothers,
be aware of the slippery
wax that contains all trapped in stereotypes.
within reality the Godly interjections echo,
time and tears intermingle
laughter undermines
oh nebula
that which is not the silken strings that hold
bottomless creation within a celestial sea
golden prism
the color of hope disrupts
the mind wonders
who is going to follow the loose trappings?
insanity
Ideals
As an abstraction, art either liberates or sacrifices are visions. More or less what we want it to create; sometimes it embodies our sunshine or showers for future view.
