I saw them spinning in the field and felt a wonder at their dance. Astonished by their silent shield I paused, as in a trance. I watched and then began to move with each note of leap and song. As I was settling in my groove a darkly visage came along. Up to the center of the stones, I was drawn into a prance. I...

Memento Mori

END, Truth, Pain, Life The beauty in the death of life lies in the life of death. I sigh in my mortal flesh Of my mortal thoughts and ask Should I remind you of your true nature and your pursuit of final free freedom? Or your unilateral universe burdened with unending pursuits and endless marathons? I lost the battle in the East...

One day, someday, man will awake. He will find the time of his mistake. He will turn and cry at his defeat. On how he’s made this world so bleak. Yes, he will cry & try to make amends. Yet what’s done is done & tis the end....
