Night is pending. Not even the most anxious can avoid time. Day after day I dread the the death of nothing that the night spawns. The TV becomes my best friend~ a window of light in the abyss.

Then truth must become a resting place For my soul When my thoughts scatter As ripples upon the sea Created by pebbles Tossed carelessly When my heart bruises As fragile as wings of a butterfly Ripped and torn as by a child Just passing by When my feet are tattered As painful as a soldier’s wounds Yet he still struggles to stand From dusk to noon When my head...
