The Fade Away

Ebbing and flowing
But ebbing more readily
Further and further back

Away from these dangerous shores
These cliffs made of age old rock
These crashing waves that force you inward

You and I
We embrace each other
We fool each other
We fight each other
And we give in

But both of us hold back

You say you give,
But you really don’t.

I don’t either.

We are both far too protective of our exoskeletons

And so we ebb

And ebb.

Brilliant. Beautiful.

About Me

My photo
I live amongst the dragons and the warriors of the 21st century. I surround myself with both the peasants, the aristocrats; the knights and the maidens. For a long time (now quite in the past), I wove the structure of my life around the mold others saw for me. I've since learned to live for God and myself. Freedom comes and goes as I remember this lesson of mine. But my life is MY life: a series of events and remembering such. And this, this beautiful montage, is why I wake up every morning. God willing.
