Fallen angels are only humans in disguise, reincarnated to follow a new purpose - heal others in order to heal yourself.

This numbness wails against the silence of my lips, my mind haunts the existence of my abyss...................

Somedays, my soul yearns
For you, as it spills itself
On my pages, prose or poetry
Words or thorns, just to
Quench itself, it does it all.......
On Existence and the Human Experience.

Black foggy mountains
bow beneath the legacy
of a golden sun
How about in 2024 we stop it with reading books with the goal in mind to finish the book so you can add it to your list of read books and start reading books slowly and intentionally with the goal to rip it into pieces with your mind and be touched by it and formed by it and changed by it
Black foggy mountains
bow beneath the legacy
of a golden sun
Will this day ever end
for fear of waking again;
a new rise, a new day
forever a lifetime away
