Falling free at a tremendous velocity
Cursing my decision for acting in haste
Through clouds and frozen rain I could not see the ground
Losing consciousness, in my mouth blood I could taste

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 28

Quietly, the memory of my grandfather manifested itself,
In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit, 
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking

Like a heavenly beam
Splashing...

owned by financial security, slave to
the essentials and more, much

The Last

I’m Hiding, Hiding in this cupboard
Feeling sick, I’m sick to my stomach

With no financial stability I lost all capability,
To care for you, they stripped you...

Eyes of Autumn green, permeate the serenity of my skies.
