How do you sing a song
At three am
When candlelight monsters dance
And moonlight sunbeams pass
At three am
How do you hear the silence
In the thunder clouds screams
At three am
With a fragrance of desperation
Chimes of broken clocks sound
At three am
The northern factory haunts
The ghost of community laughs
At three am
Someone drinks in the past
Careless and fortuned
I do find that the tired mind opens the door to a world of colour

Big
As big as it is
And bigger
I was holding onto suns
And letting go
Of universes
Each inside has an out
An easy out
A darker moon that can crowd our sleepless night
And find the feet to walk
As big as it is
Everything is
I will certainly live forever
And die tomorrow
Again and again
For the first time
And the last
While my mind paints rainbows
On the bottom of the sky
As big as it it
My fingers touch
My hands are all but empty
Holding onto something greater
And feeling the end
In beautiful beginning
The stretches reach much further than the time
And our dreams still more vast than my mind
As big as it is

Child of mine please know

All things have a season

All things have a time

If stars can fall, then crash and burn

Humans fight and fail to learn

Then time has nought to teach

The blind will never learn to see

And the deaf will fail to hear

Even mighty rivers run dry

And seas can also die

Today

my heart stopped beating

But time has taught me this...

Love is where you find it

Follow joy wherever you can

Hope can spring eternal

Fellowship remains in man
Here I am far away from home
With a hole in my head and two in my chest.
No thoughts in my mind, I'm void and alone,
And the clock that made my body tick on has finally come to rest.
An entire lifetime of pleasures and pains runs red on the sidewalk near what used to be a somebody to nobody.
Suicide or homicide? You judge.
