Train JourneyGlassed with cold sleep and dazzled by the moon, / out of the confused hammering dark of the train / I looked and saw under the moon's cold sheet

Nostalgic.In his barren room of eternal darkness, you will find her suspended alone in space. / The silhouette that continues to haunt her soul have returned to reveal its obscure face. / Its eyes dazzles with the pure optimism for the uncertainty of what secrets the future has in store,

My Technicolor Heart, Afire...I hope it makes you feel better, my Love. Seeing my heart melting for you on the roaring fire… / There is nothing that I could have done to change the way that this has ended, yet I would still happily melt to make you feel better. I would still burn to keep you warm. / Did you notice the way the fire made my heart glow in the orange yellow flames? I did. I also noticed the way that it cried out, feeling lost and empty and broken in its final moments of misery. And I heard how you cried out when you realized that there was nothing left but to set fire to my lonely love.

nearing twilightand there i am in the midst of it all, conscious of what appears to be existent, yet knowing it is illusory. and if time is occurring synchronously then how can i look back with contrition? for if i have the capacity to move backwards and forwards in quantum leaps, i can erase the past like pastel chalk on an antique blackboard, then start anew. is not the sky my canvas and the arc of the rainbow my palette? and the stars in lustrous luminosity light my way so that ev’n at dusk I can paint. yet pain ne’er ceases to hollow me out. then through a barren vessel i catch more rain, and pour it out upon the parched terrain. just when i thought enlightenment was nigh, a sharp edge is discovered. must it necessitate additional sandpapering from the wind? when will the gemstone sparkle without further pressure? does it lie in its power to simply shimmer sans duress? perhaps it was dazzling at its inception, relinquishing its luster upon domestication. with this proviso, as it nears twilight i shall tarry and blend with the night. i’ll dance with a moonbeam knowing the jewel will glisten afresh upon the rise of the golden sun. / @2016janetaylor

ReconciliationSOME may have blamed you that you took away / The verses that could move them on the day / When, the ears being deafened, the sight of the eyes blind

Your PowerThe power I get from your personality. / You're a lion, a natural born leader. / King of the jungle, in this barren valley you give me hope.
