here
that is how
i will start
on this page
as so many
of life
worded
the pain
doubt
how my soul
flies
only to crash
but it does
no matter
for i am
what i am
only
changing
like rain
falling
and the earth
holds
absorbs me
in rivers
running
to the sea...
i was
pretty high
that night
under the moon
on the shore
waves
rolling,laughing
that
destiny is
fulfilled...
it was twilight
as the sky bruised
colors of god's imagination
and the day cooled
in clusters of stars
shining as only hope may...
i was 
falling
somewhere
distant
drums pulsed
tempos gathered
as the dream was
unleashed...
it's like
a drag
off a ciggerette
when you been jonesin
dig
it aint
like
no-one wants to
die
jus some dont
care
 and that is
what 
makes us
god like
the not caring...
here
on this earth
i knew
where i was
pure
soul
burning
in the night...
hell 
roared at me
showed me
warned me
of what was
coming
and still
i am
unchanged
yet
moving
to what must be
destiny
calling
in my dreams
life
is more
than what was
givin
life is
what is
taken...
i say
good-night
to the stars
one by one.

jus to get it all out.
