The lake’s shattered glass
And serene temperature seethes
To set it’s shards carefully upon our arms
The summer-scorched car parked ten feet from a cliff
It’s the AM, the sun doesn’t quite reach
Our drenched legs dangling into the breeze
The beat of a long forgotten shore
Sets a simple rhythm for
us to follow as we sip our thermos heat,
Less needed in times like this,
Bright reflection streams off the water-top
And some melody of winged animals
Floats overhead.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
