-Drifting southward in a daze,
looking below, I see the maze
and the ways through this haze...
My head now splits,
like rifts of lava
in this continental drift.
Thinking of confusing myths,
away I drift...
Catching a moment of breath as I
sweat to death
from things bereft,
I see the dream. What does it mean?
In the deepest part of this pool,
I look for that golden rule.
But I flinch as soon as I get
within an inch.
I may run. I may hide.
But I know faith will be found again and again,
hiding deep inside.
Drifting southward-

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."
