Even though it has only been a year in the eyes of authority
Deep canyons have separated us for years
Mountains of unresolved issues and deep seas of pain
Turned what was once one in unison into two entirely different paths
Regrets are few but they are prevalent when they visit
For the gains in personal growth tip the scales and reveal the truth
Lessons were learned and boundries were gained
Cultivating the seeds and broadening wisdom to its farthest horizons....

Have you ever been disrespected so bad you just wanted to smack someone. You tell someone how it is and they think they can manipulate you into what they want. Well that's ok - my dog has spoken and I guess taken vengence by relieving himself on this person's coat... You know I really love my dog for that.... Again I reiterate - the more men I meet - the better I like my dog...

What do you see when you glaze upon this crystal? Rarity? Complexity? Complete inperfection, chaos and disorder? Some say it has the perfect balance outside and in but I don't see it... How can it be so longed for and yet so desolate?

Self discovery - self doubt - Can I climb this mountain that has appeared before me? Do I have enough strength to slay yet another dragon? Why the constant challenges and the moral quarrels placed before me? Is it because my eyes are open wide enough to see now or has this serpent of my own dimise always been there just under the surface? Twisting and turning and now I finally realise what giant feat must be accomplished for peace to be allowed to seep into my soul.

Did you ever just want to quit? To give up on this utterly confusing life? Maybe just float along in a wasted river of useless knowledge. Who is coming and who is going and who really knows what’s right and wrong. All is a battle, a paradox, an absurdity, a complete contradiction in terms. Why are there no clear answers in life – just another twisted, confusing path to spin you off in yet another direction?
