Extraordinary is a journey I begun Once ordinary was the path that I shunned Did you ever wonder,
Why your future you had not beset upon Well its the past It had you trapped before you could run Run into the unknown and extraordinary Leave the present of the ordinary Believe in possibility of possibility Reject all paths of predictability Could you be the one in one hundred thousand
Or are you as the thousands
In the thousands
And thousands

Threading the BoardsThreading the BoardsThreading the Boards
Sitting amidst the organised chaos I watch the days parade Pondering quietly, the motivations and motions of the performers as they pass. An anxious frenzy, and audible buzzing fills the air and space about me.

The MothThe MothThe Moth
Fluttering, flittering, Twisting, turning, Bobbing and weaving through the dark.
Climbing, flying, Sinking and soaring Racing to embrace that luminous spark.
Mindless yet knowing Ignorant yet informed Pursing the future from the moment it formed
A life of such purpose A goal of such brilliance To reach it, a test of will and resilience
It passes through shadows Traverses the night To live and die within the light.
Tirelessly chasing but one moment It seeks the beauty, hidden in torment.  


Living PatternsLiving Patterns Our lives are unique patterns Beginning within the potential of a dream Issuing forth into reality We strive to give purpose to the intangible To give form to that, the eyes cannot perceiveLiving Patterns
We weave our dreams into the progress of our days And wait to reach a summit set high upon our expectations
The material is transient and cannot pass with you into the nether Within each living heart lays a desire A desire to create
A desire to forge that which cannot be broken A desire to mark where we chose to stand All in the name of eternity and life
Only Silence

FlashesThe light flickers with the feverish urgency of a man discovering his defining idea minutes before death.Flashes
Time ripped to shreds with but a flick of a switch, images rush in, stabbing at the known world with endless and fleeting meaning.
She smiles the flash too brief to give it context, she seems to spread serenity through all there is to see, stealing my heart, the scene, and Darkness claims the world for an endless moment, taking with it the lifetime of happiness and maybe love? derived from the single smile The world wakes up, too shocked to recognise time or limitations, delivering a new l


Inside the eyesThe darkness gives birth to another face, still unwilling to let it go, leaves it factually sinister, a detail one is taught to disregard, and yet one cant help but wonder how much night it carries with it.Inside the eyes
The face is garbed in a variety of contexts, possessed of movement and feeling to make it almost human, and so one must make oneself less than that to see it for what it is. One reaches forth to feel the faces inner rage, to quantify its turmoil, to test whether it was born or brought by darkness.
Then comes the judgement: calmly, coolly, entirely without incident, and one turns back into the darkness
