About Me

Bid me discourse, and I will enchant thine ear.
William Shakespeare

Watch the tides come to us, and as they drown the first, second, and the third. We all know what steps to take for progress.

But the scenery has yet to change.

You can't imagine all the worlds I've witnessed.

This too shall pass.

in the quiet twilit places
where children fall to ash
& the grave sunset will be beholden
in all its grey & faded splendor

and in the distant silence
where time whispers gently
at its passing

there, beyond the dark
where horses graze
in empty pasture

that is where the soul goes
on its way out.
