i turned left today at the stop sign ...
followed an old man 2 blocks towards nowhere ...
i looked up to the hazy sky and she spoke to me ...
*can you see past the clouds?*
i said to her ...
**i see an endless ocean of doubt**
i felt a slight calm before the skies opened ...
i closed my eyes hoping the rain would wash away my fears ...
the sun climbed and the skies cleared ...
i was still afraid ...
afraid of yesterdays, afraid of tomorrows ...
i opened my eyes ... all around me we're people going about their day ...
i felt even emptier ... as each person walked by i felt their despair ...
where is the escape from the hardships we foster in life? ...
in a nearby alley a stray dog was rummaging for food ...
he found mostly waste ... he will go hungry a little while more ...
maybe tomorrow there will be food ...
maybe tomorrow people will be filled with hope ...
maybe tomorrow i will see the beauty ...
maybe

    I often feel the same.

    maybe tomorrow, Eddie will stop by and we'll watch Star Wars.

    maybe tomorrow, Eddie will stop by and i'll stand around like a fool trying to keep my jaw off the floor... maybe he'll bring stone and i'll try to cheer that wierdo up... maybe he'll bring mike and i'll actually have someone i can talk to... he can bring jeff and matt, but i think i'll make those two pixies stay on the back porch...

    soon enough i'll kick eddie out cuz i wont be able to rib stone for being such a geek and mike and I wont get to talk at all with him around


    :D
    ~all is full of love~
