Fog

Rain sprinkling as we descend--
Valley of dead trees.
Winter--trying to pretend,
That it's still in reign, pleas,

With blankets of green,
To let the cold continue.
Where I should have been,
I could not resist to think of you.

You are far--
Always on my mind.
The beauty around me is lost.
My mind covered it in frost.

Cold comfort,
Embrace of the dew.
Thick air stops me--
I am dead.

The fog is in your eyes,
In your voice.
My future--holds--
Choice.

I ascend once more.
The wildflowers begin to bloom.

Day Trip

Drove up to Cayucos, San Luis Obispo, and Cambria last Monday to escape Santa Barbara.

Had some fun with the camera.

Vista

I have better things to do,
Than to escape with you right now.
After all that we've been through,
I'm not quite sure how,

You still don't understand
That I don't have time for you.
And for all which I stand
I can't bring myself to hate you.

Clearer than ever before in life,
The sky lights up the darkness
that surrounds me--it is strife,
that I have overcome: softness:

The feeling in my heart when the waves knock me into the ground:
Destiny's flames now barely visible on the hillside.

Storm

Alone.

I come here every day.
Why do I bother?

I have nowhere else to go.

Nothing can compare to what I once had--
No cheap imitation can match it.

Instinct tells me to continue,
But my heart rips me the other direction.

I long for the day of my return.
Before then, everything else means nothing.

As I wait, my heart withers in the wind,
My soul washed away in the rain.

My Life

I get stressed out a lot.

I have a lot on my plate to take care of.

But I get the job done, and I do it well.

I work full time, and I go to school full time.

I like my job, and I'm an honors student, and planning on entering the departmental honors program as well.




I don't have it that bad.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed

But then I buckle down, get the job done, and life continues.

I live a comfortable life in Santa Barbara.

I have wonderful friends, and a caring family.

I have a lot to look forward to.
