Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
Tonight I awoke to an orange hori… one that I had never greeted befor… It took me back, to the days of ce… and disregard for the ticking of c… Part two:

A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
A sudden waking From formless blinking through dre… Please, just one more year! Surprised to glance the moon’s fac… An hour before her phase
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old

My Grandfather’s last dream In a deep sea of white, heavy thun… Until a peaceful respite blinks What will it bring? Will the rain… With their piercing showers, will…
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
