The scene is cast,
The stage is set,
Embracing though we've never met:

This facelit ocean's endless, yet
So is this handless clock we've set.
Take that risk
And be willing to better yourself
You have only one life
Live it up and reach for that top shelf
The answers are there
Right before your very eyes
Look carefully
And strive for that top prize

DOWN HERE

From here
You can only see
The brightest stars
Skies so dark
Between lights
Spread far

Way down here
Our existence stalls
Adrift this
Tiny little speck
Of a crowded
Conscious ball

Suspended in a portion
Of one of
One hundred billion galaxies

Down here it's not so clear
  What's going on up there...
Traveler Tim
Northern Michigan Skies
Two broken teeth from a perfect cavity
Wrapped in her blue handkerchief
Jumping and skipping, defying gravity
Down the dingy lane, with an orange leaf

Bored of walking, she used the spare tyre
Cramped into it, she spun her own world
Along came the dogs, howling louder than fire
Down the dingy lane, now really wanting to hurl

After what felt like a lifetime, the spinning hushed
She stood up, looking for her hanky with eyes wild
An old man found it, grabbed her hand & her face flushed
Down the dingy lane, with missing front teeth, he smiled.

cath
Half my body on her lap
my head scooped in her arms
She pleaded me to breathe
and do not let go...
I smiled,
she is funny, really
cause she poisoned me
and does not want me dead..?

"This will be the
first and last day I love you."
She reached over
and kissed him with
such desperation and passion-
He could taste her tears
as their lips locked
for the first and
only time.
After what felt like an eternity,
she stepped away,
grabbed her suitcase,
and left without
another
word.
She knew it was for the best for both of them.
Is falling out of love
the same as falling in?
no, right?
