I or i
j a connor Apr 2023
Do I seek reparation
Do I crave adoration
Am I drawn by the critics
Am I freed by the lies
When I question my cause
My answer repeats

Without me there is nothing

I am my life

Spark Of Contemplation

By the campfire the vision in the flame lured Sal within.

Will Cassady remain ?

As the light reaches higher

Sunset to dawn
Chill to warm


Sparks fade for another day.

The season is coming
Leaves crumble underfoot
Skies change signalling a departure from youth to mid life
Autumn beckons to its cooler sibling
Preparing for the challenge we must all face
The final path towards what lies ahead

Look to our history
Learning the goal

Will you be comfortable knowing what is behind the door

maybe win maybe lose

But to do or to don't
That's free to explore

I remember the time when we were kids
The fun we had
The things we did
And I wonder
Why did it change

You're still here in my heart
Each and every day
I thought I'd left you behind but my dreams made you stay
I see you now
I think of then

But I made me a promise

Never
Again

I lift the snow and place it in a nice white envelope
Frozen
Form unaltered

428 miles is the distance it must travel
No hope of survival

It holds the moment
An emotion
Melted
Something pure
Now nothing but a memory
