Red eyes in the distance
looking over a sea of light to the westwall
The lord of secrets upon a throne of moon and sky
whose whispers come and go as star trails in the night
and always follow on the wake of death
speaks to the falling rain
Come softly to the kingdom and decay
Walk without destination
beyond the horizon where goes the master’s gaze
commanding heart and soul to the breaking point
Then further to the deep well, frozen
as a constellation in moving skies
still and silent down to the moment of apocalypse

Now more than ever is the time to believe in the good of humanity. And if not humanity, then the good of human beings.

You’re certainly one of the rare ones… I am constantly finding pessimism, even in my friendships with dear, dear friends.
