Blue Afternoon

It was a blue afternoon, thought we'd soak up some life

Soup

Let the healing begin,
let the soul mend...

Off Limits

Off Limits, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Our dreams off limits
just part of other dimensions

Just a pinch

Just a pinch, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

If we can weather the storms of life
it will add just a pinch of adventure
some excitement and some strife

Seeing the future

Seeing the future, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

The future is not for us to know. Circumstance is poison that we must swallow and try to give meaning to, nothing else.

Left Behind

Left Behind, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Time forgets us sooner or later, and we're all left behind.... to fade away, to die

Unlikely

Unlikely, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Circumstance makes dreams unlikely to ever come true

The other half

The other half, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

I went for a walk to set my mind free
to get away from troubles bothering me
and remove myself from blind absurdity

When we forget

When we forget, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

When we forget why we're here
the days ahead become unclear
death waiting year after year
as we pass the time living in fear

Wash up

Dreams will wash away
like everything under the sun

A time to stop

A time to stop, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

The world begins to say you've done enough
it's time to stop, your end is near...

Fading Lives

Fading Lives, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Each day passing there's just a little less
each of us becoming ash and dust
fading lives of former selves

Take it slow

Take it slow, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Take it slow if you can
seize moments of magic
and make them yours
as all will pass and be gone
like the moment of your existence

Opinions

Opinions, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Chasing opinions isn't living
it's being something other
than what we're meant to be

Docked Ks

Docked Ks, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Those things we've seen every day
fading away in our lives passing
left for another to carry in their history

Serve up

Serve up, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Each life a slice of the bigger whole
served up to us to make a change
and give back to the circle of life
making this world a better place

A former self

A former self, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

The selves we once were
are torn apart with each
and every passing day
never to be put back together
age and time take us away

Alias

Alias, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

We all have a core, a true self that we may never actually see...
as we're too busy being what we think the world wants us to be...

Sail Away

Not taking flight

Not taking flight, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

Launch your dreams before they fade away

Garbage

Garbage, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

You create the life around you...
if it's not working change it, or throw out what isn't

Break Free

Break Free, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

A world awaits those who dare to dream

It had been ages since Patrick had seen the sunrise, he missed those occasions.... funny he thought, "this could be my last sunrise.. and it's such a nice one, even if it's hiding behind a heart monitor...." and so, Patrick found some comfort while waiting for his surgery...

Tossed and turned

And the road ahead changes once again, in an instant a river of time has shifted, echoing in the background a soft voice of explanation calls out.

Sorry for the gap

I haven't missed a day go posting to my blog in years.  Unfortunately, I had a heart attack and collapsed on Saturday afternoon.  This is the best I've rely since my heart surgery.  I'm hope that I'm on the road to recovery.

Blood and Tears

Blood and Tears, a photo by Damian Gadal on Flickr.

It's time the erases us
by each minute we breathe
wasting away into never
were, or will be
lost to the cosmos
is all we thought and did
and our love too
