Escape and back again II
As I step over the broken bars of my cage the edge of vision shimmer, I think nothing of it for I am free now with every answer of life clear in my mind. I walk out into the world with purpose and determination; I know what I need to do, where I need to go. I see everyone around me, I know all the right things to say, the world is at peace, such a beautiful place, a utopia,...

Love song to my Lerrissa
You’re my world, the shelter from the rain.
You’re the pills that take away my pain.
You’re the light that helps me find my way.
You’re the words when I have nothing to say.
And in this world where nothing else is true
here I am, still tangled up in you,
I’m still tangled up in you.
You’re the fire that warms me when I’m cold.
You’re the hand...

Down. By Jason Walker

I don’t know where I’m at I’m standing at the back And I’m tired of waiting Waiting here in line, hoping that I’ll find what I’ve been chasing. I shot for the sky I’m stuck on the ground So why do I try, I know I’m going to fall down I thought I could fly, so why did I drown? Never know why it’s coming down, down, down. Not ready to let go Cause then I’d never know That I could be...

Observer IX
Constant strain to be strong, to show that face to the world to show it no matter what it throws he remain solid. How long? How long will he be able to hold out? How much more can he take before the continuous maelstrom finally erodes the strong facade? What happens when the front is broken? He feels it, almost like physical pain, like standing naked in a sand storm that never lets up, no...

Observer VIII
A man drives along the highway in the dark, music playing as he makes his way to his destination. After a small time he suddenly stops the music & removes his hat & begins muttering quiet words, a humble request that this “Heavenly Father” protect him & the tattered old car he drives, to help his car make it to his destination & back, what these humans call a prayer. It seems...

Observer VII
They look, they search, and they are lost here. This world so cruel, so twisted and dark, dim glints of light like flickering candles at the end of their wicks with little left to burn on. The light is in the mind, the imagination, the light is hope, what more do they have that is real? They turn to the fiction, to the books, to the movies, to the bedtime stories, to Wonderland, to Oz, to...

Observer VI: Observations of an Observer
It’s interesting to watch someone watching others, to observe an observer, & it is a rare occasion to spot an observer. The observer watches the other out of the corner of his eye, observes the other taking in all the people around, every minor event taking place, but there is something to the eyes, sadness perhaps, or a slight regrets. The observer realizes while watching the other that it...

Father by Edgar Guest
shadowwarrior:
My father knows the proper way The nation should be run; He tells us children every day Just what should now be done. He knows the way to fix the trusts, He has a simple plan; But if the furnace needs repairs, We have to hire a man. My father, in a day or two Could land big thieves in jail; There's nothing that he cannot do, He knows no word like "fail." "Our...

The Meaning of Family
Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.
-Lilo & Stitch
Family means dealing with the good & the bad, working through everything. Family is more then a physical or blood connection, it is a spiritual bond, the deepest of connections that can not be broken from without, no matter what the forces at work against it may be. Family is an eternal bond that is...

Strain, tearing
Failed relationships, I fall in love too easily
Why can’t I ever make something work
Why does it seem like the harder you try the less you get
I’m too stubborn to give up, I won’t, not again, I’m sick & tired of giving up or failing, I WILL NOT!
Drudgery of this calling, observing
Stop watching, DO something!
Saturated by this world, sickening, filthy, corrupt,...

Researching the observations of Illia Solarea...
The observer reads the papers of a close friend, pain flowing from the words in waves with no rock to subside them. The observer has just finish studying portions of ancient documents and feels compelled to record some of the word for the close friend. As the observer writes the words there is an unsureness about if the words will hurt or enlighten, but a belief that the words will help whatever...

Moon Dragon
The blue dragon flies by the moonlight, the eye, narrow yellow slits, keen and ever watching, like a sentinel in the night. The moon and stars are his guide in the darkness, the night air is crisp, cool, and clear. He is ever searching, ever watching, only the darkness knows what it is hiding from him, but he ever searches for whatever it is that evades him, one day he may find it, or perhaps...

Perfection of Transgression
As I look at you I realize the perfection and detail I’ve strived to put into your very being, I failed to notice that as I lived in your world, I let you become a part of me. So often I wish to become more then what I am, to seize control of my life and to change who I’ve become; I tell myself that today I will change, today will be different, today I am stronger then I was yesterday, so I step...

A man stands on a rock outcropping, looking out over a vast forest, The sun is just above the mountains on horizon creating a beautiful firery sky, There’s a breeze strong enough to blow his cape almost vertical, What is he doing? Is this sunset, or sunrise? Is this the conclusion of his journey, or just the beginning? Is he looking towards his destination off in the mountains? Or perhaps he is...

Escape and back again
I wander around my cage holding me in the unknown. I lie down on my bed and fall asleep, leaving my cage behind, I go up and out the dirty old roof, and I look down as I keep going up. I see my house, street, my whole town now, and I’m going faster, all of Missouri now or at least what I can see through the clouds. I’m looking down at Earth, How small it all seems. I still go on only faster, 5,...

Observer V
The Rain has been here not long ago, the ground still wet & the rich earthy smell of the dampened ground, like a world freshly cleaned. The trees illuminated in the bright morning sun seem strange and almost eerie glowing against the dark gray sky. The heavy dark clouds are slowly ripped apart by the lightly blowing breeze allowing more sunlight to burst through the eastern sky, the beams...

Observer IV: Observations of the human family.
A seemingly normal family if you look at a family photograph, the observer chose this particular family from the beginning though the reasons be unknown to all but the observer and interestingly enough he may not even recall the reason this family was chosen.
The structure of the family is so complex yet it starts as simple a basic animalistic instinct. Mothers, the nurturing protectors of the...

Observer III
The people of earth have interesting minds, they have beliefs that should not in logic exist, but they do none the less; Religion. The most common it would seem is that of the followers of a being or Man named Jesus Christ, the Son of God, or at least one view of God. This Christ knows everyone on the deepest levels, or so they believe; but yet, they go about their lives, believing that the Son...

Observer II
The world spins, the tides come and go, the winds blow, the rain and snow fall, the plants grow, the seasons change, the cycle of life rotates on and on…and then there are the humans; they go about their lives almost completely oblivious to the life cycle, somehow thinking in some way that it’s below them, that it doesn’t pertain to them. The problems with the Earth seem like...

Observer I
Life in it’s motion, people moving about with no reason but that which they believe they need to do, cars endlessly go by down the highway, they feel safe in their plastic and metal cages, seemingly the only illumination in their lives once the darkness falls is that of their headlights and streetlights. They drive about, seeing everything, yet taking in nothing, complaining about the traffic, or...
