Six months away to travel
Home to a nostalgic place
Where, once more, I'd be able to capture

Used clothing, spam, corned beef, Vienna sausage
Coffee, coffee mates, chocolates, candies
As if those items were not availabe
In...

Birds of a feather flock together;

When you die, there will be...

the warm bed, the place to shower, the cup of hot coffee
and the things unknown.
He wandered deeper into the city where the burdens get heavy.
He found himself on the empty streets that...

Returning To NatureI had forgotten
the spells that nature
can cast
But today I saw
ducks floating on water
carp and catfish below the surface
and migratory birds by the hundreds
flying over my head
The reeds...

Anna MarieA beauty that keeps him admiring cannot resist the view
Magnificence that continue blooming as cool as morning dew

Days sometimes are so tiring...

Be normal and join the flock on earth, Santa got depressed
Sat by many of Finland’s lakes contemplating his life

Still water of the pond.
The Enchanted forest kept her safe and sound
Though the reflection in the water gave her
Chills that nearly woke the unicorns of old
From there dead slumber
Beyond the edge of the...

When Sparks FlyLife cracks me up
Throwing bricks at my face
Dodging them through the paths of the wilderness
Where the water buffalo roam
Strangers make accusations

Where eyes will be destroyed for piercing through sharp glass
Note to self don't ever look back
Keep pushing through raging waters
Breaking the...
