I remember
Though you think id forgot

The times spent laughing
The times of childhood past
Remember the summers we swam in the pool
Pretending we where dolphins or monsters
Man we where fools
But it was ok because i was with you

We would lay our beds on the glass shop at night
And watch the stars wheel slowly through the sky
Feeling astronomical powers collide

A shot of smooth fire as it burnt through the night
Seeing the fire reflected back in both of our eyes
We would send wishes along with that light

So i remember
How could i forget
The day that you died
I lost my best friend

So I am about to be a free man again, to wander where I please.

I find the prospect nauseating.

I think that tonight is the night I will hang Howard W. Campbell, Jr., for crimes against himself.

I know that tonight is the night.

They say that a hanging man hears gorgeous music. Too bad that I, like my father, unlike my musical mother, am tone-deaf. All the same, I hope that the tune I am about to hear is not Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas.'

Goodbye, cruel world!

Auf wiedersehen?

I don't know you
And you don't know me
Yet the moment i saw you
My heart began to sing
As if i had known you
A life or two ago
Perhaps when we die
Then we both will know

I saw infinity
In a glass of water

I felt it strange
As it passed

It was a difference
Like night and day

The loss of the feeling
That i am alone

The realization
That i am Connected to all of you

That life is a dream
And death an illusion

All of this hate
And all the confusion

Are the movements of energy
Through our mortal coil

Yet without the body
There would be a unity

We would be everything
And nothing

This is why life exists
To experience ourselves subjectively

Most of us not knowing
That we are drops from the same ocean

With every kindness And crime we commit
We further our understanding

Still with life comes conflict
And another chance to change

We live our lives like falling rain
*Only to pass back to the ocean again

Time is a face that lies still on the water
Zellfain's light burst the barrier clouds
From mayas pool grew there a sapling
Zelmaya the tree of life where we began
The essence of two
coiled in blood and bone
Leaf  sap wind and stone*
The light of sun on darkened ground
In this tree a balance found
*That is why we live and die
Love and cry
Laugh and sigh
All within zelmaya's eye

~     A life without love
 *Is akin to death without rest

Have you seen my son
He was to return before the dawn
He told me that he loved me
But there was fighting left to be done
His eyes are hazel burning bright
His hair as dark as ravens night
that is perched on yonder tree
His croaks say that your son is gone
And again you will never see
But still the misty morn she walks
With crystals rolling down her cheeks
Cold and gone
is how she found the sun this morning
