While sketchy and still opiated up at work today.
Vision
How can something so special still be ordinary?
In the glimmering half light, you'll never be seen
A billion stars to shine your name forever
We sit for eternity in contemplation of indecision
One word unuttered, poisoning the silence
Freefall is so exhilarating, until you hit the ground
A million spires rise in your name
Life captures what words cannot
Perpetual wonder at the power of this expression
Twisted reflections in the mirrors of fate
Praise be to Allah, the merciful, the compassionate
One world, one people, one direction
Blank pages crying for the ink of history
Question the questions, answer the answers
What is it that we were searching for?
So many years have passed, but none at all
Something given more valuable than something bought
The age of the world is the price we paid
Diving towards the ground at breakneck speed
Hands clasped together, palms slick with sweat
Nothing can explain the moment when you know
Floating for a moment in space
The king of nothingness weeps for loss of innocence
Mortality is all, but we died too long ago to care
Sacred to us both this thing we have
Is all nothing? Or nothing all?
Cut the cancer from my heart
I can still see your face and now I know
Truth... Beauty... Love

I've had a few changes in my life recently, things have changed for the better, I've decided my dope use is going to have to bite the bucket. After going through some nasty withdrawl, feeling like I've been beaten with a plank of 2x4 I've decided I'm going to go clean indefinately. No more sitting on the couch, high as a kite, trying to write, and scratching my arms. I'm going to miss it, shit I'm not going to kid myself, I'm missing it already. But that's the way it goes.
I wrote this at work today, thinking about the way everything changes.
No sad wave or fond farewells
Between old friends
The passing of an age
Marble facades crumbling to dust
Scattered by the careless footsteps of the young
Amid the pyres of everything taken for granted
Discern the aura of the new
Shining in the smoky air
Protective barriers gone, old lies vanished
Look to new horizons
The green and gold beyond the black and red
An aeon passing slowly by
Our old gods, long since left
Young people of a new world
Naked and innocent
Standing on the shores of the boundless ocean
In awed contemplation
Life standing, staring into the chasm of death
Always teetering on the brink
Blindfold removed, light flooding in
Leaving behind the blind mans cane
The sun at once setting and dawning
On this, the fusion of eras
Perpetually in transit, stuck twixt new and old
A hammer lies, next to shattered shackles & chains
A knife in a pool of blood
A half carved statue and a shattered chisel
All that's left to find of human life
Begun anew, some place beyond the reach of harm
Awoken from slumber to the dying echoes
Real life begins...
And I think that's how I feel right now, its like I've been sleepwalking, the dreams were of pure beauty, but now I'm waking up.
