Amber is the color of no pain, no happiness, no fault.

Preserved in all is amber stasis

Not failing, nor succeeding, locked in potential

On the verge of everything in a reality of no-thing

Amber suits a life of side stepped opportunities

Dreams never fall into amber, vivid colors only

Fame in Truth is found by mastery of amber phasing

Amber is the color for what was before the Future

Time, Sunday, Midnight Music

Time just does not STOP

Though every day I keep EXPECTING it to

Guess I cannot catch up then.
So many things almost in grasp.
Now fading further to half-dream status.

I still feel their memory, on Sunday nights.
In between blinks I almost see her then too.
So archived now is the time before the damage.
Filed neatly into a decade that is almost two past.

Music finds paths to these archives, involuntarily.
On purpose in doom moments when physical form becomes too taxing.

Forecasts for the future have jurisdiction only in day.
And today is over.

Past midnight is the wild.
Who could ever die in the day?
Surely we all fade after midnight on a predetermined Sunday.
Surely.

The Thin Memories

Ever do these words echo in my mind…

“Teenage angst has paid off well, now I’m bored and old.”
I hear them all the time,
But mine own angst lingers,
Keeping me from getting old.

Purity of emotion peeks in adolescence.
Angers and wrongs incurred in such times
Are not yielded lightly.

Decades later, adult decisions are deferred, by design.
Ghosts wonder.
Physical pursuit ends, astral begins.

Selection of thin memories,
Engage the time meant to be bored and old.

Results are restless and stilted.

Memories that hurt are too valuable to give up.

GREEN SKY BLUE GRASS

If the sky were green
And the grass was blue.
What color would be the dew?
Would it still be see through?

If I were you, 
And we were me,
And there was cancer for all three.
Did I die before the sky
Came back from green to blue?
