Life Shadow

A Frienship Catus
behind a drape on a very humid day
We had the windows shut and the drapes drawn
in hopes of a comfortable sleep
31 celcius with humidity..41!

Under an Azure Sky

Under that azure sky

I feel comfort

laying on my back, with no cares

only for that minute.

escaping life...a life that just

won't let go.

So you get up, dust yourself off

and go back at it

Thats what we do!

Beauty and the Beast

Love is a Rose

Love is a rose
but you better not pick it
it only grows when it's on the vine.
A handful of thorns and
you'll know you've missed it
You lose your love
when you say the word "mine".

~Neil Young
