fear is the pavement
upon which meaninglessness
treads audaciously

Of Life's Ups and Downs

A dream's chance for fruition collapsed
when flood waters came unannounced.
.
Little did the dreamer know
the sorry missive carried by the tides.

Whence the storm came is rather clear
T'is the reason behind that mystifies.

With a Guide on one's side
Hope remains eternal

At the funeral
of broken dreams.
