page 46: we were meant to live.
Thursday, January 24, 2008
mused @ 2:38 AM

Fumbling his confidence
And wond’ring why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

i desperately wanted to write something here. but i have no idea what to put here.

maybe it is just the comfort of words.

back to work.

maybe i will come back later.

page 44: criss cross, two swords dance in rhythm.
Monday, January 14, 2008
mused @ 1:25 AM

its just a little dance.
we take it slowly,
cautiously.
who is to say who has the edge.

then suddenly,
a step forward, a lunge.
a thrust,
and first blood.

the wound might hurt,
but it will heal.
scars remain to remind,
lessons of gold.

round 2,
the bell goes.
a bow for courtesy.
then we begin.

this time a bit wiser.
a bit bolder.
a bit cleverer.
and we dance again.
--

enguarde.

page 43: explosions in the sky and then nothing.
Wednesday, January 09, 2008
mused @ 4:32 AM

a multi colour array of sparks that masks the night sky signals that yet another year, another 365 days have passed.

the fire hides the night sky, which we rarely gaze upon. their eternal residents, the stars, look down upon us year after year as the earth spins without fail on its axis. they see everything but people rarely look for them. and sometimes they hide from us, hoping that their absence will cause us to miss them. but we don't. because in the end they are of no importance to us. just pretty lights in the sky.

we are like the stars sometimes. we just want to be seen. but the world does not want to see us. we try to disappear, hoping that they will miss us.

maybe its time to stop disappearing, stop being so high and lofty. we should be like a falling star, coming down to earth. although we can see everything from up above, you will never know anything observing all the time. you have to be one with the people to know and to feel.

a falling star that will illuminate the night sky for a brilliant moment before being one with the earth. to announce that you are indeed here and that you have come to stake your place on this world too.

and perhaps i have observed too long. i have become lazy and jealous and cruel and cold. its time for change and resolution in my life.

--

up above the world so high. like a diamond in the sky.


but diamonds in the sky are worthless in the end.
