but we’re only human.

when it comes into something you’re truly passionate
it’s even easier to make a snap judgement.

if it were me however
I would have never made it this far
I never bothered going in for a closer inspection.

That’s right, in my own flawed and jaded ” been there, done that” mindset
As it turns out, very.

I’ll be the first to admit that
while I consider myself to have a rather smiley pallet
open mindedness can occasionally be on short reverse.

Fortunately fate would give me another chance to get up close this faith
and after the recommendation from a friend I did a little web minning.

The more I discovered about the faith the further my foot traveled into my mouth.

When I finally finished off my last slice of humble pancake
I realized that the only acceptable way to right my wrong
would be head to the place were its all start.

When I first saw the faith
it was still shocking, how shinny it was
and still.

Even with my ‘vast knowledge’ of all things people I thought it was surely a cover.

But that’s just another item we can add to the “thing I was wrong about” list.

The advantages of this process compared to conventional talking are vast
primarily the ability to talking virtually anything.

but as easy as it is to get carried away by the impressive exterior of fake smile
there’s more to it.

if you’ll pardon my ridiculous pun
but it has been given a kick in the pants.

Speaking of driving hard, that’s exactly what the ‘cranky’ guy doing with his car
everyday since he just 9 years old.

There’s nothing I like more than a car
ok, I also put on cakes and cat into the list.

But what’s the point. that was me
not you or anybody else.

I must say it’s been a while since I misjudged people so badly
but certainly there is a lesson to be learned, no?

What I thought to be a run-for-the-cover behavior is really anything
but and my first impression has now been well and truly erased.

it’s not some untalkable harebrained concept and its not sitting around in a warehouse collecting dust. it’s doing exactly what a guy should be - it’s being driven its way.

(When you’ve had enough of reality and it’s time to consider other options)

Under the surface
Peace
Ears fill with water
Everything is gone
far away
The currents pull my body
Saying, “leave, leave
come away
for all time
Eternity is here
forever.
Just say "yes"
The ocean will pull, pull
Pull.
Soundless
A whirring of the motion
A breath of breeze, and a
bubble massaging
pieces of skin
And a pull
Let me take you
drown you in silence
fill your lungs with
blue, azure, green, and
the darkest black
Unknown to any
Let the fish take your flesh
Dive in your spirit
float and swim
be the ocean and move
forward, away, away and
be the ocean
be the sea
forget what brought you
here
floating, and time never is,
and never will be.
I remember the times we never had.
The moments we never shared.
The long nights of conversations composed of the sweet echoing of nothingness.
The days where we did nothing but we did everything.
I remember it all.
I remember the first date that never happened.
We went out to see a movie and eventually went for a walk around the block.
A walk that lasted **** near 3 hours.
I remember how sore your legs never were after that walk.
The moonlit sky, no clouds to hide the empty darkness, the sounds of emptiness echoed from every missing star.
The first kiss that never occurred happened under that sky.
Those “memories” keep playing back to me on days like this.
I take in every moment that never happened as if it was a dream sewn to the edges of my heart, I don't want to let go... But it never happened.
What's there to let go of?
I remember months passing, I treasured every moment I got to hear your voice.
The sweet honey of your words reverberating at the edges of my subconscious, slipping into reality.
I remember memories of dreams of hallucinations dipped in the wishing well of my heart.
And then I remember the bad times that never happened.
The arguments about things that would be forgotten.
The fights over things that never existed.
I remember how we made up.
I don't think I would have meant anything as much as I would have when I told you I was sorry.
I remember it all.
The “I love you's” in the middle of the night.
No reason to say it, we just wanted to..
But then I remember something that I should never have forgotten.
We never had memories of what love was.

I've always heard silence is golden
but, what if your voice is stolen
Is it then as precious as gold
or is it more like steel bars bitter and cold

I've always been told the grass isn't greener on the other side
sometimes I wonder and sometimes I think they lied

I have heard on the wind, you reep what you soe
I ponder this as I weep for a foe

All these expressions , these old wise tales
They try to nutshell the human nature
All that we fail and all that we hail

I believe life is short
we must set sail , we must leave port
Explore the relm on which we grace
Hand in hand and face to face

Love all that you hold dear
cherish every hug and every tear
Never ...ever live in fear

Always follow your heart,
but let your mind co-pilot
Hold on to your pride
but keep it in your pocket
Live your dreams
but,don't dream your life

Your life is a vessel upon a vast sea
Do you want to be the sail that guides your way
or continue being the anchor that holds you down today.......

— The End —
