[hometext] => Nothing like string cheese to ease the monotony of life...
[bodytext] => ............................................ "Eternal nothingness is fine if you happen to be dressed for it." -Woody Allen ............................................ There is a stillness to this air, Like a whisper Far, far off Over unseen hills And through tree's That have yet To notice Today is a New Day. Yesterday's Tomorrow, Is just another day, Bright, dark And empty Yet somehow alive, Somehow still Existing In this bitter, Unkind place, Where, Like a Phoenix, Another unfortunate soul Has risen from the ashes Of his yesterday And has foolishly Sought to Explore This new, Old world. To make this one Moment in time His... A light frost hangs On the manicured lawn And the withering Black-Eyed Susan's and Marigold, And the Bright, unwithered golden Chrysanthemum Bite back against A new breeze, One that carries with it A scent of hickory, Of a coldness Warmed By fire. But I feel the cold, Only the cold. When tomorrow is today, I should choose to sleep, To remain unaffected By the rising of the sun, Or the setting of the moon. To disappear inside that darkened vault Of my mind To become less of the shadow That I am, And deny I exist at all. What is today But another yesterday, An endless looping Void of Nothingness. A nightmare Never ceasing. Copyright © 2010 Richard D.
