Salvation’s Nature

No grace for good within,
No saving without loss,
No mercy without sin
Or without albatross

A man one portion good,
Good works will make a saint

A man in fraction evil,
Infraction makes but taint

So better is a villain
By an act of charity
Than a hero with a fault
And a glint of iniquity

A Message Among Chaos

You know what you never hear of these days? A message in a bottle. Now, I’m a youngling myself…so don’t get me wrong…we didn’t do such things “back in my day”. Yet, the romantic in me sees the message in a bottle as holding more than an author’s message…but rather, an author’s anticipation, hope, and yearning for fate to take hold of their words. And what on Earth is more volatile and chance-filled than the sea? I mean, what chance does your message have in reaching another shore…let alone, another person? I’m sure some whiz mathematician somewhere has calculated the probabilities – but that doesn’t interest me. To me, it’s not about possibilities…potential and chance don’t even cut it. I’m all about chaos...the fact that some things are incalculable – like love.

And to me, chaos doesn’t mean: "void of purpose"…it means the purpose is buried under a pile of seemingly pointless – sometimes hapless – events…events that cannot be understood let alone calculated. I believe in a sort of objective driven chaos…a chaos trying to reach some end. The seemingly minor and random things people do everyday affect countless others in countless ways…which, in my humble opinion…results in fate. And I know, it’s kind of a copout…what you do or don’t do is what was supposed to or not supposed to have happened…and that's fate. The whole thing is a paradox. And perhaps that’s where the connection to chaos lies…because in chaos, everything and nothing are connected. Anyway, I think I’ll send a bottle out to sea the next chance I get…after all, it’s just an old school form of bloggin’ with the added twist of fate.

S.O.S. to the World,

Unknown Ardour

Gouged and grave
Grated by gravity
Less just is justice
With her unknown to me

"Be There"

"As I look into your eyes
I pay no mind
I found the way
To get inside you
I'd give you peace of mind

Am I see you falling?
Am I see you falling?
I might see you falling beautiful
The same

I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling beautiful
Sometimes"
