chamber of secrets

wishes. dreams.
sometimes they coincide with reality.
what was so beautiful is now strange and alarming.
itching. yearning. seeking to find out more.
but failing. limited. a glass ceiling of sorts.
where will I meet you again?

waiting. earnestly waiting.
anticipating. pausing. waiting.

falling. into what?
don't know. but I care.

the past. trying to reach the surface.
no. stay. where you belong.
it's over. gone. forgiven.

abnormal. strange.
what do I want?
don't know.

pause please. only a second.
play. fast forward. times twenty.

perchance. perchance.
ay, there's the rub.

what a tangled web we weave.

give and take

when you and I embrace surrender
when you and I choose to believe
then you and I will see
who we were meant to be

but why is it so hard to surrender?

and even harder to believe?

the silver lining

this is a picture of a caged tiger I took in Thailand.
when I see caged animals, it really makes my heart break.
they don't belong there.

but then again, I guess we don't belong here either.

silence is golden

"know this, my beloved brothers:
let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger"
