Welcome to 4 A.M.

Where almost nothing ever happens and the universe sits mostly still, where indie music is life and where photography is heaven. Where silence is golden and life is absolute. Where we all wish to be, and where only a select few of us can go and handle it.

Welcome to 4 A.M.

Where we lie in limbo, waiting for the sun to come up, the moon to go down, the median between life and whats left of the dark decay of lifelessness. Where Your eyes open wide, where your thoughts wander into the void of the infinite. Where we wait to see the beginning, the middle, and the end.

Welcome to 4 A.M.

Welcome to the dead, the living, the mourning, the crying, the sad, the happy, the over energetic, the under enthusiastic, the over enthusiastic, the insomniac, the insane, the beautiful, the quiet, the peaceful, the thoughtless and thoughtful, the kind, the caring, the listeners, the wonderful and magnificent, the open minded and wide eyed sleepless.

Welcome to 4 A.M.

Where we wander, searching for answers in our sleep. Where we wait for contact and a view into what we think is the future, and where here, we wait for the future. Where we sleep only to be dreaming of our answers we are searching for and never getting the full answer to questions like-
"Who am I?"
"What am I?"
"Who do I love?"
"Who loves me?"
"Why am I here?"
"What awaits me today?"
"Who thinks of me?"
"Who are my friends?"
"Who are my foes?"
"Who are the friendless?"
"Who am I to judge someone?"
"Who are they to judge me?"
"What is left for there to question if I already know the answers to my questions?"

This is what we ask, and wait for...

Welcome to 4 A.M.

Where our mindless infinite, grows! To be ever infinite into the oblivion of exaggerated proportions and ridiculous time! Where everything meets the beginning, the middle and the end. Where life dies, starts, and lives once more for us as humanity to enjoy through one more day, for us to catch our breath, and to breathe the dead and living. For our eyes to capture the very beauty of life through blinking as if our eyes where the lens to a camera and our brains the film to feed it.

All in one quiet, peaceful, beautiful, and insane, hour. Everything lives, dies, and starts over again.

Welcome to the beginning, the middle, and the end.
Welcome to 4 A.M.
Welcome to life.

Good morning.

I like wool socks.
I like breathing cold air--
the way it numbs in my throat.

I like watching cars drive endlessly,
staring across an avenue at tires and shades of paint, windows and blurred hubcaps. I like catching the brief moments in time when the streets are quiet.
I like empty bottles and barriers and running my finger through a candle flame.
I like trying to capture the brief moments in time
when the house is silent.
nothing serious, i just was trying to stop thinking about the complicated things.

I hate it when I can't enjoy a song
because I'm using it
to block out
the yells.
I hate it when I have to use words like a shield.

I wanna go Sundance on the moon,
Gather my thoughts and appreciate the value
Of being lucky to have a second chance
On a world where death occurs on every dance.

I wanna live a life worth meaning,
One worth gazing back and seeing
Where I can catch my breath and smile
Relax on the porch with an angle view of Eden
Expressing the mile and how it was worth while

I wanna learn & cultivate,
Curiosity of understanding
And what topics deserve dismantling
As knowing a fact or figuring out a part
As knowing the truth always has a hard start
It may be redeeming and deserves streaming
Can you handle the life and keep beaming

I wanna know whats the next stop,
What rocks to avoid and weather it carries a trap
Should I carry on walking and stop floating away
In this sophisticated maze thats delicately placed
I guess its worth being lost instead of knowing your place
Just so you can find your ways
And pick what to embrace

I wanna live by meaning,
To stop blaming and start fixing
To love other's more than my self
To inspire the heart by killing the dark part
To not be demeaning, foolish or deceiving
Rather respect and value others feelings

I wanna capture the good in all of us,
The meaning of sisters and brothers
A harmony expressed through + intentions
A sequence of peace & virtue in humanity
In order to live equally without the insanity
