Ripples Of Your Skin

All around I’ve been, but all around my head
I can’t seem to locate where certain days have gone
The echoes still remain
Reverberate, and remind
Like the light of day reminds
Of yet another day.

On the lingering smoke
Your face appears
I know it’s you I see
For all my doubts and fears
Are gently tucked away…

I take your hand in mine
The warm, wrinkled hand I knew
And there I find my comfort
In the ripples of your skin.

Times Like These

I was about to go to sleep because I have work early this morning and then I start getting messages from a few of my friends saying things like "stay safe" and "get the hell out of there". I'm trying to go to sleep not walking near the edge of the Grand Canyon, what do you mean stay safe?

Tsunami Watch.

Because of the 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan we are under a tsunami warning. I don't know who the NWS is but their estimated time of arrival for the tsunami is at 8:41 a.m.....

Scary? Yes. The fact that if I were to die right now I'd die alone sucks...for a bit I was really scared. It's times like these that make me want to be with the people I love. It's times like these that make me realize anything could happen at any given time and remind me to never take my life for granted. Its times like these that remind me to do my best every day that I am alive because really that is the only time I am truly being myself.

My only issue is I don't want to die trampled between all the rubble of this big ass building. Let me witness a monstrous wave, let it consume me, and let it take me away...

Luna

Maybe I was dreaming…
But I thought I saw you smile.
