every second is eternity
	for those who experience their life to the fullest
(later days)

a poet in the dark
i need you like the
sun needs to set every day
like every caterpillar must
curl up into a chrysalis to
become something more

these dreams are my metamorphisis
these words are my prayer
to myself to no other god (in lowercase)
truly know
lay on the floor thundering clouds above
hand aching as it writes
losing my life like that it
just wasn't meant to happen
one man doesn't have that
	kind of power
for instance he can't control
my hand and yet it writes
automatically this mind
is not attached to anything
right now this body has
been vacated can't stop
thinking so I will let
him have his turn.

speaks drakkonus-sensei:

i will not throw you away
you mean something to me
type this down for me
or I will never see it again
it is time for you to meditate
so you can reach me
because i need more of you
brush your teeth & your hair first
because this is the last time
you will be able to control 
your force
it is the time for your ethereal
to become you.

/////////

this isn't how.. it wasn't meant to be..
but it will heal itself..
it will happen anyway.
