The Soundtrack To InevitabilityThe stars have a cold expression to them
as they seemingly drift wordlessly through infinite darkness
They have only moments in my sight
as Science ends them, in the knowledge that time is more powerful than their glow

Miles are ritualistic truths
steeped in longing
Across the gulfs
Where all my little issues mean as nothing

A gas cloud surrounds me and my little nuances
I am so small
I, the finite and the obscure
I, the carbon spec in a sea without end

The lonely space-ways
Lanes of traffic which are empty vessels
Not unlike my heart

If you listen closely, you can hear truth
in the spaces between the stars
It is called NOTHING
It is fore
Unsweetened CerealThere are great gulfs
in between each horror we face
We tell ourselves what we want to fear
We choose what we hear, as well, from those fears
inside our hearts - the smallest of closets

Ambition is like a t-shirt
covering up all our bruises
Like the search for orgasms and possession

We all want to be a voice
against the flux of all those cold, silent stars
Watching us with our revered delusions

For me, there is but one great Horror
One terrible truth that tries to prove itself
It isn't demonic
It is in fact, not supernatural in nature
It isn't loss
nor is it pain
nor even is it death herself

No, the greatest threat to my sanity
The one SU
ResidueWe're just residue
Here on man's measure of time
The why of it drives men mad
The how of it drives them into shallow graves
The when, well, that is another matter altogether

Apart from death itself
Nothing tugs more fiercely
All our plans are cancelled shows
All our beliefs are seasons

A counterbalance to life
Endings always have the last laugh
For good or ill
For the pundit, the shill
All go down the line, to the same place

Saving face?
Not going to happen
The flies will have their fill of your eyes

Oh wow, I had the exact same one! And...the same thing happened to it...the rust looked cool so I was going to keep it, but then it started to fall apart. Meh. Your butterfly crash-landed.

A beautiful photo. I love the broad range of colors, and the subtle blend of cool and warm, along with the glow of the fading sun. There is something very comforting and warm about this photo. Maybe it's the rust and wood and green leaves.

I have often wondered if anyone out there had seen this particular chime. I got it at a garage sale before it crashed, LOL.

I am so glad you liked the photo. I had this up for a long time on my old account, and nobody commented on it, so this truly made my day! :)

It was, at one time, a butterfly made of copper and colored glass. ;)
