words and photos 2013

  i lost a passage in a book that i've been reading.
 i can't find it, and i think it's for the best.
 it made me think on it more in my own personal way.

     it was an analogy about life and a river,
 or how life can be like a river. it's a pretty
obvious comparison. the river can move slow,
 or quickly, have it's difficult turns, it's rapids that carry
you can  be... exciting, out of control,
and terrifying. if you fight the current
of the river you'll probably just end up  more
 tired and wishing you'd paid more attention to what
 caused the pull, knowing someday it'll be back
 again. for that next time, maybe to take a deeper
 breath, kick your feet down stream, and move
 along with it. life goes on, and so does the river,
 until it ends and that's where you will be.

I read your words, and I have remembered of this song, thanks Max for this blog, makes me feel less alone.



"This town's dead tonight
I got no place to be
Moon is hung just right
Shine like diamonds on these streets

Moulin wine and lonesome
It's cutting clean through my heart
In my window smoking
While the midnights setting in on roger's park

I come here with hopes and
Guess I came here with dreams
Now I'm all alone
I can't even get to sleep

So take my heart and break it in
Send me back to the pines
Tired of lying awake at night
Feels like I'm running outta time

See my dreams before my eyes
Shadows on the wall
I ain't got no place I can fall
Snowing in off the lake
Punching holes in the dark
Through the lonely streets
Of rogers park

So shadow boys I bring it in my
Hear I'm down in the streets
Corner goes our way
For someone to take them all for keeps

There ain't no hope in leaving them
There ain't no prayer for the poor
And all that's lost in stealing
She can't hold me anymore

See my dream before my eyes
Shadows on the wall
I ain't got no place I can fall
Snowing in off the lake
Punching holes in the dark
Through the lonely streets
Of rogers park
Oh through the lonely streets
Of rogers park."
