Savoring the Journey
November 05, 2004
This and That

As promised, I finally sat down tonight and typed up some of the miscellaneous scraps I found the other day. Before I knew it, there were 10 pages! So I stopped there.

You Set Me Free
Never will there be a day
when I don’t taste your talent,
when I am not set free
by the thought of you.

*

Sad
I was standing at the front window
peering into a funky little antique shop
and watching their reflections as they passed.

“She don’t believe in his dreams anymore,”
one said to the other.

I paused, stunned.
I can’t imagine that.

I will always believe in your dreams.
I promise you that.

*

Waivering Faith
In the guts of a God
that knows no grace,
is a heart of eternal flame
dressed in thorns

*

Ill Humor
Self-fulfilling prophecies,
the ultimate ironies
of fate’s ill sense of humor

*

Overheard
“I’d totally do acid and shit, except I don’t have access to it” – a 12 year old on the sidewalk smoking a cigarette as cheap as her eyeliner.
