One thing ive realized at this bridge point in my life

…

You dont realize the passing of time until the sunrise …now high noon in the sky slowly glides towards a setting sun.

…

The painting over stylized

…

the ones who told you that this existence was transparent… borderline on a bold face lie with good intentions

…

Merit shifting and sliding from end to end…of what ? The spectrum of the beneficial…subjective ..for many of us ..at times even elusive.

…

So what to do with …these thoughts…

…

I bought some more sunshine yesterday..I think I might have over paid…but nevermind..those digits in that banks mainframe soon to be sublime bliss shaking off of guitar string …a tainted kiss to all that exists from a dreg like me…

…

I now too know why the cage bird sings…the meeting of tragedy and tenacity on the sonic wings of a thing meant to fly high …but in a cage …

…

Dont you just love this life? Honestly…I do but this society doesn’t feel the same about me..at least in my mind…I hope I know in time …

But the larger cage of conditionality invisible to all ..what was all of this? I will leave this existence not knowing lol

If you feel the need to write, you should do it

Maybe it’s true some people wouldn’t like something like that, but there will always have people ready to listen to you

Life is a mystery to everyone but few people worry about it

The sun rises and sets and we all retire to bed

We wake up with a spring in our step and hear the birds singing

Seasons come and go and our bodies grow weary

Life is whatever we can manage each day

A lifetime of memories

One thing that I have realized at this point, at this bridge in my life

…

You dont realize the passing of time until the sunrise …how high noon in the sky slowly glides towards a setting sun.

…

The painting stylized to an extreme

…

the ones who told you that this existence was transparent… border on a bold face lie with good intentions

…

Merit shifting and sliding from end to end…for what ? The spectrum of the beneficial…subjective ..for many of us ..at times even elusive.

…

So what to do with …these thoughts…

…

I bought some more sunshine yesterday..I think I might have overpaid…but nevermind..those numbers in the bank’s mainframe soon to be sublime bliss shaking off of a guitar string …a tainted kiss to all that exists from a humble man like me…

…

…

Dont you just love this life? Honestly…I do. Yet this society doesn’t feel the same about me..at least in my mind…I hope I know if they do or don’t in time …

The larger cage of conditionality invisible to all: what was all of this? I will leave this existence not knowing why.

“To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the breaking of bread.”
