How time flies and can drag its feet in the sand
at the same time,
ornery, they call it and sometimes it's a downright
misery,
but time is what we've got and not a lot of it,
most of the time.

We worry about getting things done
but
the sun won't go out if we don't,

just chill, time
will do its own thing.

When obsession becomes fate
Life becomes a straightjacket affair.

The quest for invisibility
Leads them here

Your ***** little secrets
Venture out at night
To drink and dance
Into thin air

Your snow melts
Your stars flicker out

But they're not
Beyond detection
When the party's
Not over yet

She is the face
Of my reality
The breath I inhale
The sunshine
Upon my skin
The generator of beauty
I see, all around me.

Today
Is a new beginning
To try again
Today
I am determined
To aspire
To inspire
To explore
To break open
To create
To innovate
To transform
To be art
To love
To become
To persevere
To overcome
To discern
To enlighten
To be found
To be aware
To desires
To be understood
To shine
To be safe
To be strong
To be
To the end
Today  
I made a pledge
To never
Give up
On Today
Today
Be someone’s
Reason
To smile.
Capped in a can,
trapped by the man
and sold down the river,
I should have known better.

Getting it right
reading into the night takes much longer, but I'm making the coffee a bit stronger to help keep things moving.

And the days keep on shifting
I'm drinking a fifth in a quarter
of the time.
