i awoke to the sound of the commotion all around me the commotion of the world busy doing what it always does turning...moving on its axis no matter how much i will it not to every living thing breathing heavily into my ears until time continues to slip away from me once again i don't want to wither in silence....or fade while the world looks on an existence acknowledged by somber glances and sighs at the tv screen lonely star, i'm burned out at the base and tossed aside a road without a sign in sight no direction or explanation but i'm lost for the good of all who wonder where the time goes so lend me a passing glance and let my smouldering soul lend you questions to scream silently to the universe so vast and overwhelming where a star burns brightly against the strangle hold of each passing moment flickering and fading with our feeble bodies descending, crumbling to the earth below my feelings rest with that burning star my hope burns brightly with that dying star my star that struggles against its nature and burns brighter and more defiantly against my every worry my every fear and sets my soul on fire the embers spreading and engulfing their planet their comfort their illusion of living free of the grip of the sand that slips through their frigid fingers .....as they set themselves ablaze only to fade without a flame or flicker in sight so burn with your star. burn with your star. whoever you are. I want life in every word, to the extent that it's absurd.- The Postal Service |

quote: Beautiful! Questions arise whenever we look at the vastness of Universe and we are overwhelmed. When we linger a little longer, beyond the duration of a question, we suddenly perceive our oneness with All there is and we enjoy to be in the flow ... and that is an answer that fills us with awe. Love, Margherita |
