Our totally rockin' camping trip to Big Bear!
The darkness of the street closes in on me
The jagged edges of loneliness wrap around me
Scrape flesh from bone and ravage my soul
It runs like rivers through veins of humanity
Pierces my memories and makes me forget.
There is nothing or no one more important to me than my friends (which happily includes my family). I think that I am one of the luckiest people in the world because the friends I have are so incredibly amazing. They have been there for me while I've ridden this rollercoaster called life and have proven to be the most stalwart of friends, compassionate, forgiving, and supportive. Thank you all so much for what you have given to me...
"This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays."--Arthur Dent, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
My life is an endless series of Thursdays.
The fairest things have fleetest end,
Their scent survives their close:
But the rose's scent is bitterness
To him that loved the rose.
Francis Thompson, 1893
I scream and the world around me shudders
Angry at the disturbance
Desperate to quell the jagged sounds
Of broken glass that reverberate
From corners of passivity.
I cry and the world around me withdraws
Frightened by the truth
Desperate to quell the harsh sounds
Of a wretched soul that swell
From valleys of denial.
I laugh and the world around me stares
Threatened by the unknown
Desperate to quell the rough sounds
Of mirthless laughter that echo
From peaks of obscurity.
I die and the world around me exhales
Relieved by the silence
Desperate to quell the clamoring sounds
Of broken spirits that rise
From oceans of despair.
