Profound insight climbing the mountain
The higher you go the more beautiful view 
Opens up wide spread in front of you
You see the world under your feet
Overwhelmingly liberating experience 
Shocking overpowering, and scary
You play walking on...

Endless sunflower field 
Rhythmically swaying in the wind
Like lazy ocean wave stretches 
To the distant line of horizon
Touching the edge of the sky
Melting into hot noon brilliance
Boiling all shades of yellow into
One burning brightness of...

for those who laugh in the light of day,

nor understand what laughter...

Tiring are Some of it sometimes-
Maybe traditional scenes
Unknowingly builds the pinnacle -
Of the dreamless minaret.

That rains incessantly
Disturbs the Subconscious.


Rather in the darkness of decade
Or-
It can be seen...

And see the world through his eyes
Barefooted with white robe
Tied in a knot with linen rope
I follow him like a shadow
Starring at the faces of Athenians 
Who lived ago a...

Who knows if magic exists,
if dreams come true
and whether miracles take place
(all of these things we thought we knew)

... buried in our haste
to dig childhood's grave...

And though something gets lost
along the way,
it's never very far...

Enthralled by each panel, a world in my grasp,
Comic books whisked me beyond time's clasp.
Starlight's soft shimmer, on planets unknown,
Myths spun with heroes, on quests all their own.

With villains I tangled, with champions I soared,
Their...

Slowly and stately
they shuffle along the ice
Oblivious and orderly
they move from the sea into the frozen wilderness
Moving with uncanny precision
along the widest king's highway on earth
None to impede their path
as the cycle of permanent darkness...

He erases the darkness of night, the shadows
So alive in the heart who grieves, 
Silencing the beautiful, the breathtaking, the blessings
With the dawn, sunrise comes to life,
Whispering wonders into the spirit who hears
His voice, in...

The heaven’s softly dawning light
Conflicts with the darkness of night
Reassuring the heart of God’s grace
Despite the melancholy of dusk’s face

Like a comfort, morning comes around
Destroying gloom of night that does abound
Painting the skies in azure...

This day gave me a new perspective and new appreciation
I awoke with a terrible cold and fever and spent the day fighting it
I slept the entire day away
No celebration or walks...

Give me shelter from the storm within cause we may never...

Sunrise and Sunset, by David Samuel Richmond 

Like an actor waiting for the curtains to part before the scene unfolds,
She waits below the dark horizon for her appointed time to appear.

The shades of pinkish gray,...

Sometimes, life has no reason unlike the seasons
It aimlessly drifts with the wind
We find ourselves in places of unfamiliar faces
Bathing in the shadows of sin
Our souls become lost up in the holocaust
That once was a...

We enter unannounced and extraordinarily prepared;
Undue gifts bestowed on us, nothing has been spared.
The body is a miracle of efficiency, precision and poise,
Treat this as your home and it responds with princely joys.
The mind, the...

I'm just barely trying
not really fitting in
Age wiser the miser
who keeps transcending
lessons and blessings
keep him grounded in hell
this wild child lives not in fear
but much with it, far and near

Sustaining any bit of stress
nothing's important
when...

Dark is the night,
But, it is there that I found the quiet,
Still, cool and gentle,
Feeling so sentimental,
Inviting me to breathe in…
The music of hope and peace,
The whisper of grace that agrees…
This night is a journey...

Like a shadow within a shadow merging with the darkness of night, I am the shadow merger
Like the sense of invisibility that cloaks my corpse from humanity`s gazes, I am Lord Voldermort
How does a shadow...
