And then I want to walk down this path
That goes on and on
From my town to the next
Across cities and states
And countries
Oceans and seas
Continents
I want to see faces different from mine
Speak languages I haven’t heard
I want to feel
I want to know
The Surface
—o—
We operate
You and I
We nod, we converse, we agree
We go about our business
On the surface
`
The chinks
They show on occasion
But we conceal them
Expertly shroud them
On the surface
`
And those who dare
Peep beneath
They rear aghast
At the rife ugliness they see
A cauldron of noxious brews
`
Of voices falling on deaf ears
Of conflicting emotions
Of affections forgotten
Of relations trivialized
Of promises broken
`
Yet it all appears just fine
On the surface
`
A perfect day in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO
—o—
Grumpy
After a long work night
Battling my instincts
To fall asleep at the wheel
Or run through the red light
No I can’t hit the bed yet
It’s friday still
School drop
And chores, endless chores
Milk’s run out
And yes apples,
Can’t do without those damn apples.
I prowl around
In a half daze
Dumping stuff
In my recyclable cloth bag
Green is my middle name
`
Then disaster strikes
At the checkout counter
With all my effects on the floor
On display for the world
To see and ridicule
And just when I was ready
To pitch and scram
Before the tears sprout
Like from a ruptured dam
I felt a gentle tap on my arm
It was the grocery clerk
Always in attendance
With a warm smile on her face
I sighed with relief
Everything will be fine
Because of little Ms. Sunshine
LONE CLOUD
(A humble ode to Wordsworth)
`
A lofty sojourn
A solitary quest
To territories unknown
Through fields of unrest
`
Like a fragile dream
And an evanescent memory
I fumble on
Another precarious journey
Bear Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado USA.

Loneliness is when you long for company..
Solitude… Hey I’m Cool! ^5

Self Discovery is a journey I embark on whenever a ‘friend’ leaves me.
Guess I’m done discovering myself! Damn it! >:/
`
I wonder for the nth time: Who am I?
I wonder for the nth time: Who am I?
Hey someone fix that broken record!! <:-|
`
I think I should thank all those who help feed my ego. I don’t have to track my ‘VIEWS’ anymore! 🙂
`
It’s another *****new DAY!!! :@
