Time stood still.
Can you catch me there,
In my memories?
Can you see her,
Where I dwell,
In pain, lost intentions,
And more, in an entire self now dead?
Aren’t we all dead today?
Tomorrow?
Someday?
What does it matter?
Let pain change you.
Be the trauma.
Who gives a rotten fig.
Life makes warriors,
Be one.
And forget that suffering speaks,
Let it dwell as you.
Swim before you walk,
Shadows of gloom await us all,
Be swallowed by them,
As you become wholly alive.
Never fear death,
While still living.
Never fear transformation,
It is your birthright and destiny.
Trying too hard to cling to a story?
Let them all go.
You’re better than them.
You’re a whole lot more than you think.

This collection will lay in wait for a good decade or more before publishing. Perfect timing is everything, so is good editing.

Whittling away at illusions…
In safe knowledge, comes safe change; in truth, comes freedom from illusion. The time has come to decipher the truth from the lies, and there are too many lies, were there always? Or do well told lies make lots of money and they became far too easy to tell? I do not care to know the answer, do you? I simply hope that those writing for change decide to write from reality, and to grow change with safe knowledge. Much goes on that mustn’t. Much goes into a body that shouldn’t. We are wasting time and life, let’s stop doing that, agreed?
