Then suddenly,
with unexpected subtly, the silence came.
The last echo in waves, the sound of water
rushing down the street.

my reflection upon the panes
Closer it came, intently I watched,
listened, I did.
another sound it seemed it was from,
but it was an echo, and my voice, dried up.
Clouded glances drift around the room
nods, smiles

To the otherside, night escaped.
Dawn heard the cries and the groans of the branches
wanting, needing its enveloping warmth.
Dawn delivered, and then there was silence,
followed by an overcast.

"To avoid mishap" the memory wisped past me, like the wind.

The mountains caved in on themselves. Bodies of water all went dry. The grass burned, and there I was alone. I stood in the bitter theatre of war, gazing upon the lifeless. They had fallen at my touch. I glanced at the blade, and caught my reflection as blood dripped down off the solemn surface. I did not dance my triumphant jig. My head lowered, tears descended en route for the ground, just as the stars had done the moment my destructive weapon had witnessed it's last conquering blow.
I was thrust forward by the strong wind. Just as I had always staggered when a friend caught me off guard. The wind is my friend, my only friend. It's a joke
An impossible space to fill,
under the lilac tree.
Blind hands here dump,
cinder blocks and wine racks.
Under the lilac tree,
the fragrance gives
cinder blocks and wine racks
A new meaning.
The fragrance gives
birth, to a new beginning and an end.
A new meaning,
for things that seem irrelevant.
Birth, to a new beginning and an end.
Darkness and light battle
for things that seem irrelevant;
The someday, that turns into today.

The mountainous realm began to shake.
The weight of the blurry nightmare crushed my picture perfect dream;
shattering the universe--chaos encircles my power.
I close my eyes to see the hillside glowing in the dark.
Atop I stood when my eyes could no longer bear the glow.
I gazed at a massive structure gleaming in the sun; my tower.
The slimy bricks that create my fortress break loose at death's blow.
Flames refresh the secrets kept by the silence.
A hunter crawls out of an envious well; he fires into nothingness
The silence responded.
Unleashing a beast of a sinful life;
the hunters limbs torn apart

I just noticed that I've never used this journal. I also just noticed that my birthday is in three days. This seems to happen every year, and then someone comes up to me and says "Happy Birthday!" and I have no idea what's going on until I give them a blank stare and they say.."'cause it's your birthday and all" that's about the point where I look shocked and they think it's the wrong day. It's kind of entertaining, actually. But this year, I won't forget. I actually thought that instead of saying "Hey, my birthday is on Saturday" I think "Hey, that really cool craft fair with tea is on Saturday!"
And now that I know my birthday is Saturday
