how quickly fleeting tempus fugit; 
ofttimes imagined as time thief.

Hence following vignette: quiet as a mouse lurks the time thief...

the dream was eerily familiar,

To be carried away,
Far far,
From myself,
To another world,
To a mountain top,
To a lonely place,

To where sensations stop,
To where feelings end,
To where noise...

past through future multiculturalism,

A healing timelessness,
progressivism grounds deep attachment
toward our most sensory-nutritional past,

Particularly radical cooperative customs
and multiculturally bilateral geocentric traditions.

While widely understood to...

When Nature's Best Is Not At All That Good
The ecosystem’s perfect design
A providence of the Great Divine.
A holistic balance that should not fail
If well-taken-cared of by those that dwell.

To sustain the living and its habitat.
Green vegetations were all around
