It is only when you are close to death that you see them,

But you need to believe first in order to see them,

For they exist, they are there,

They are within the shadows, hiding under the stairs.’

Ageless, the Sea rushes into shore

Breathless, joy rushes over her heart

Always, bringing the battered ship to bay

A series of vicissitudes aided by an unnamed Symphony, leaving only fragments, counting for days,

weeks, months, years, counting what cannot be counted, like the waves of time stretching across the South China sea of all eternity;  this seemingly long but thriving in only a few hours. This dream. Beginning as a hazy, infant morning at the Malinis lawn, one summer night in a dream and ending as a mass of fog in my eyes and nose and throat.

Can you put into words the soul of a man?

Is he all that is in his mind and in his heart?

He is an intricate web of his desires and ambitions?

Rolled into his responsibilities?

Sands from deserts,

creep in through the soles;

Burn the skin of the passenger.

Spiders creep across the floor.

forlorn call

from all of us

whom are left out at sea.

But afraid to jinx it, I have sat silent.

Even though, I love to infect you.

His home within reach,

The echo of the sound dying,
