Little mouse in a room size maze
Every way you turn is wrong
And the cheese stays ever far away
If only you could cimb the walls
Or find a map to help you
Your tiny legs are very tired
And your brain is overloaded
But you can’t stop, for if you do
You get the current’s tickle

Some dsys it doesn't pay to get out of bed.
Fading
Like a beauty queen
Grown old,
Sunrise is too quckly over.

Sunrise never lasts long enough.  I always want more.

I can't choose poetry
  it must find me
gravitate to me
enter the flame

breathe deeply
to hold within

what adds color
is life for us

the air we share
a sustenance

I hate being no longer the owner of my own world...

It hurts that I had woken up for a colourless firework...

I hate having my heart aching for an empty half...

It hurts not to be able to see you, Northern Light...
