I love my glasses
Least now I can see the words
But I still can't spell

:)
Tis true I'm the worst speller hardly ever use spell check and can't see a thing without my reading glasses but hey it's still fun to write :-)

To live a life in perspective
I’m told you need to define a horizon
line eye level to the viewer.

From my hill of years the view is fluid
as in watery, but also as in unpredictable.

On the sea’s face a wall of fog moves in
and out like histories remembered
and forgotten.

Sometimes silver striates the sea
with such a glitter of insight
I am bedazzled and cannot look.

Sometimes fogbank and ocean merge
with such blue-gray unity it seems
the horizon rises so that I stand on
the shore, dwarfed by a surf of knowledge
that pounds at my ignorance.

Sometimes the sea becomes invisible,
the white air a questioning emptiness,
a finger-touch of damp against the cheek.

at times it seems
your future might be little else
but treasured memories
from your receding past

open the door, look outward,
let some light shine in
and remember

your life goes forward
not back

Fraud happiness, can no longer pretend
Alone in this world, no real friends
Living within a dream, can’t wake up
Giving in to life, no way for a shape up
Losing balance with thyself, no living purpose
Demolished by close ones, everlasting feeling worthless
See into your soul, how can one be this empty
Trying to move on but death is tempting
Rivers cried, pain overbearing
Existence died, life over whelming
Eyes open outside, soul’s dead asleep within
Unable to understand, most impossible to convince
Nothing without you, the lifeline for my heart beat
Lost for so long, awaiting the perfect eye to see

tender the longing
of days gone
unforgotten.
what luck that all that goes
returns in altered form.

One drop
Two drops
Three drops of tea
Spilled as I witnessed
They now connect
Emptiness it brings
Within the undisturbed
That holds the space
And stillness
To unfurl the moment
And let go
All things pass

I've come across the moon in my dream
the moon whispered to me "I am in your reality and I've been told so is an angel, so close your eyes my boy and try to dream within a dream because even though life is hard, the point of it is easy"

but I've tried to dream. Humanity is a blur I've tried rubbing off but then again humanity is more like a stain. It (humanity) is all but nothingness in this void of insanity. so i'm sorry but i cant believe in angels or even reality.
