  • Wayfarer

    Authored: September 27, 2016 I sit on the rockThe waterway and IUntil only the waterway remains.I overlook the waterAnd the current continues its ancient journeyUntil only the water remains.The water flows and flowsUntil it cannot any longerAnd only the sun and dried Earth remains.But until then,Allow me to partake in your fine beautyUntil the last…

    Authored: July 5, 2016 When you look out into the depths of space,The Stars look back at you,The figure stares out of a viewing platform on the space stationLost in the thoughts he has shared with a million peopleThroughout the ages.Since humankind had expanded through several star systemsThey have found no alien beings alive on…

    Authored: July 1, 2016 I want to know the truth,As if the truth will immediately affect a calmness upon me,Within me, I am off kilter, out of balanceAn emotional rollercoaster within the etherBut I come to realise slowly but surelyThat the truth is different for each personThe truth is what they make of it.The fog…
