“Poke the bear
you get the claws
Chase the shark
you get the jaws”
With each lie
foundations crack
A friend once hurt
your soul left wracked
Timeless rules
do still apply
Where you can run
but never hide
Truth outdates
the oldest Sage
With us its servant
— time its slave
(Dreamsleep: August, 2024)
I welcome the pain
things are not as they seem
the real line lies ahead
the original outdates the host
the burial seemed quick flawed
to honor me now s a gift I will flee
the stage has been set an the horizon beckons
the ships waits for no one
and I a that no one
so wait for me a day
and I will raise the red flag
