The World began
the same day as you
The Big Bang occured
at the same time too
Everything you learn
and everyone you meet
Everything you know
and everything you seek
It is only as you make it
A book that you write
If you believe in God, Aliens,
or love at first sight
So paint that sky
whatever color you see fit
There are so many reasons why
you shouldn't just wait and sit
You'll die when you're ready
whether you know it or not
This is your life
so make it whatever you want!

Your dream is no higher nor more out of reach than the vehicle you choose to use to get there.
Unlikely bird
Plumed with hope.
Ungrateful skies
Pierced by smoke.
And I will slip behind this cloud
Night will fall
Day will break
And I will stay behind this cloud.
Worlds and weeks will pass
And all I'll miss is
You.
Wind in my hair Sun
In my face One
More of us and This
Will break. Kiss
Me now or lose Me
Forever. Or until We
Come down, hopelessly tethered.
She pushed her face in the wind, gaped at what she thought birds must see every day. Only a few weeks ago she'd been grounded, all walls and no air. There'd been a picture on one of those walls of a brigh, huge ballon, drifting over everything. She'd breathed of that picture, it was her life support. Now gaped down at the walls and roofs fall below. She laughed out loud; she had no roof! This was the opposite of the past few years and it was absolutely perfect for her. She shouted to the man controlling the ballon, lest she forget with all the thoughts filling up her mind, "How much do one of these things cost and where can I get one!?!"
I bought a ticket to nowhere and back a backpack full of beef jerky and shotgun shells. I had a couple of credit cards that weren't mine but were guaranteed to work for at least two weeks. They stank of blood but most people don't really know that scent so he sailing was smooth. I wandered from the bus at one of the stops, stomping alongs a swamp in search of this special moss I'd heard that grew around those parts. Supposedly had psychedelic properties. Not that I did drugs, but I did know people that did. That paid for drugs.
I located about ten bushels of the funky stuff and clapped my hands as I scooped the narcotic mess into a large ziploc I'd brought for the occassion. About that time the local voodoo preist came jingle-jangling toward me and shooed me away from his stash. He let me keep the moss though, which was really nice off him considering he coulda put some bad mojo on me just like that. *snap*
The bus had already left when I returned. I was in the middle of nowhere and, honest to god, heard wolves howling in the distant. Cliched, I know. Anywho, luckily you came along and saw me with my thumb stuck out and were kind enough to pick me up. It's been kind of a weird day so far. Where are we headed?

CDB, I love that. Not only does the beat of reading it rhyme, but also the lines. That's incredible! What talent!
