thoughts?

are you ready for this?

your father has a year to live,
liver and lung cancer

step on a speed train and go and go

As I journey this path there is only one person that I need to tell me to love my life.
Me.
Last summer I was given a gift that I will forever cherish. For this, you will always have a place in my heart.

Thank you.

A.W.O.L.

this is normal.
its part of who i am
its how i deal.

its no worse this time...
is it?

with nothing left to give
its time to recharge.

sometimes we all need to take a little time for ourselves.
figure out who we are
and what we need

so i withdraw
to regroup

this is something i must do alone,
so that it is mine,
so that it is ME

this is not depression

its self-actualization

they were all right
all of them

its not enough
it will never be enough

speak to his soul
even it will tell you

its nothing she will find in anyone
its whats lacking in herself

the eleventh minute

5:11am

i count each plank down the dock

dawn has begun splashing her vibrant rays

the gently rippled river
painted with an innocent brilliance

two fervid old souls halt for a moment of perfection

perfection...

picking yourself back up.

If my success is measured by my willingness to keep trying and I should always do sober what I said while I was drunk;

then i need to re evaluate where i am.

I sometimes feel as though I am missing the 'soul mind body' connection.

So, I ask, what kind of price tag was put on the 2,786 to 2,814 innocent lives lost in the September 11th attacks on the Twin Towers?
