Clarity Departs

Clarity departs Slipping through the fingers of great hands. They stand, blind, Blanketed by clouds and chained by the Earth As they fall, screaming, from the shoulders of the mighty Never to return.

Bad Timing

3.67 minutes... The man in the grey jacket started to run. He couldn’t believe what was happening, and whatever was making him late was making him very angry.

I Went Outside Today

The street was bathed in twilight, with popping pinks and vibrant reds dancing across the sky and coming to rest on the sleepy sidewalks and the glistening buildings.
