Go ahead, I’ll follow you

Until the end of time.

I hope my dreams will once come true:

Dreams, that you will be mine,

Eventually here to stay,

Showing me the way.

1 The Avenues

Sitting in the Avenues

Watching the world go by

I thought about my life

 

2

Whitecaps on the Bay

A broken signboard banging

In the April wind.

DNA
Codes and lines.
Who are you?
You are Divine!

 

Breath
In and out
Live a day
and go away

Black Holes

In The dark
a start for time,
an endless line.

Death
Above and beyond
fade away today
and rise above the rest
