time is passing…passing

Sunday October 26, 2003 at 7:53 pm

time is passing
before my eyes
far too fleeting
before I realize
sands in the hourglass
are had in vain
holding memories dearly
slowly erases the pain
a double-edged knife
the handle in my hand
the blade does wound
avoid it if you can
close your eyes
tears blinding vision
rain from the sky
camouflaged and hidden
promises broken
mementos fade and die
words never spoken
believers wonder why
answers unattainable
mist and fog
believers are gullible
believers follow all

[circa 1988]

I am an aspiring novelist and a writer at heart who finds cathartic relief in every word penned, whether it be digitally or otherwise. I am an avid reader consumed with devouring the written word. I am an amateur photographer who believes a camera represents one of the greatest tools we can keep at the ready. I am a naturalist and tree hugger. I am a cat fanatic, a simple ape whose every breath hinges on the satisfaction of The Kids, seven cats responsible for untold compassion and understanding and happiness, not to mention a great deal of drama, abuse, and slavery to which I subject myself just so demanding predators can remain content. I am a human who appreciates the complexities of the cosmos, the fallacies of faith, the soundness of science, the misanthropy of aware minds, and the cataclysm of politics. I am me, a simple man with complex thoughts and a complex man living a simple life, someone trying to make my way through the universe without causing too much pain to others along the way.
