Tall glass towers; on mountains of golden lakes. An island of ten million dreams; blinded by the lights of life. Heaven is a time like no other, as nothing has an end. But all of it's residents have met their end. Phased by the breath of tens of labours; the works of my hands. I built glass memories, so fragile of remembering a tragic past. All that is wasted; wasting away in thoughts. ****** as my hairs in the morning. Some on my neck, of having their rest on my pillowcases. A heavy throat, and it's husky voice. _Mmh mmh;_ clearing it to speak into a day. This morning is a timeless piece of whisky; strong as the first swallow of belief. Do I... _believe of any goodness ahead of me for today? A chance of better wealth to add some weight to a wallet? Meeting my potential love; as they're waiting out there?_ But when, and how far are all of these things? Who are the fools to know; all of the wisdom of ancestors of where they should go? My forefathers have been at this place before. I do suppose; that I am progresses living words. Onwards, forward, towards, heading, advances, going to the places of what progress asks of me to go.
