Time

I ride upon the whispering wind,
I float upon the musty air;
I am time, and time can wait,
Time is everywhere.
You may curse me,
And call me foe,
When in truth I am your friend,
Who else will draw the curtain close,
When life comes to an end?
Seconds tick, I will wait,
Years pass, and I am there,
I press the wrinkles into your face,
And put strands of silver in your hair.
Yet time is weary, time is old,
So many wonders I have watched unfold.
Time welcomes death like an old friend,
But time must never truly end.
So there is still time,
There is always time for time.

My two favourite things - drawing jackals and writing stories that end on cliffhangers :)

The Flesh That Lingers

What is this life that has come to be. Every day a reflection of what has made me Does everyone live it. Or with the smallest tap do they slip and sigh of the edge of the map.

Blink

Caught on the wing of a butterfly. I can't help but watch the world go by. And as I look up at the dreamy sky, I think of how lucky, and wonder why. What is my purpose on earth, here.

Just A Memory

Isn't it sad. We all vanish… We all die… It's sad. We decease a Grim's banish… Lost souls in the sky. What about the living. We lose our friends… We lose family… Grim's gift giving… It never ends.

Get On With It

Life is a strange thing. You're only here for a while and then you're gone again. All your questions ignored and unanswered. The point of existence, still a mystery.

Where Are We?

Somewhere between love and hate. Somewhere between peace and violence. Between random and fate. Between anger and calm. Somewhere between the ocean and the land. Between safety and harm.

Dust

Do I have a life, have a soul, Or am I nothing more than flesh on bone. I live, I think, I breath, I know, But in years to come I'll be food for crows. Is life worth a life of living.

Paper.

I was talking to death and he told me how everyone came to him for all the wrong reasons. They went for an escape from all the pain and suffering they called their life.
