What is this odd creature? It fly's and crawls and imitates all.

A still ocean, a monolithic mass. It moves so slow and stills so fast.

A WHAT!? You say? Coming this way. Should one flee or embrace hide or give chase?

It's underground and all around; waiting to be found.

Here to lay, here to play, in time you'll have to pay. What has become of my jacket?

We landed on an uninhibited planet. We thought we were the only ones. Years after we had sutteled we unearthed a temple divoted to the sun. In golden letters above the later it read "The Tides Have Won." What could that mean?

Standing in line, waiting for your time. Is this what it means to have a still life? Just waiting each day to live the next. These moments have meaning. I'm waiting for the salience to commit.

Long ago, I started picking up the pieces and putting them together with the gold from my chest. There are so many places empty, I don't know how to fill. This is Kinsugi I guess.

I came to this planet because I heard they knew how to party.

On a journey I took to the west I stopped to take a rest. There I found a valley of enormous flowers, they blocked the light from the sky. I lay in the shade and enjoyed the cool fragrant air. The time came to contune my journey but I could not reason to leave. I've decided to stay in this valley of enormous flowers as tall as trees.

March my friends, March my enemies in lines through the cemetery. Tonight we dine on the flesh of the many, the strong, the wealthy. If you pay attention you'll learn, this is the ends of every enemy and every friend. What is there left to learn after this?

What of the diamonds, what of the trees, what of the winter, the tides and seas. Lord I wonder, Lord I ponder what are the rest of these?

Kindness with nothing to gain is the foundation of character we've learned to desire. I seen this once and I'll never forget.

What was said what was done. Written in ancient stone. It was, it is, it still. These words have conscious and demonstrate will. Archaic language interpreted through ruins etched in times before now. It was, it is, it noun.

Our scientists were working on faster than light travel. We were almost there but the universe came up with a problem for each solution. If the problems were always there, were we just discovering the dynamics of this complexity? Null they said, again null but with more fervent emotion.

Lines were crossed, the masses raged. The kings stood in lines, to enshrine the cage. We all had our turn to fulfill the people's wishes. The ballots cast to feed the fishes. After the wars were fought and the heroes praised, new lines were drawn and flags were raised. It all starts again and we think "what a pity" the poets sang and it all seemed silly. Does this mean war, Victory a repeat of his...

We all fall down, sooner or later, we all fall down. Those who rise up, must be breaking the rules. I've never wanted to fly so much in my life. And today is so much more the same.

Who are you? Is this the wizard we were warned about? I don't like the air around this being. Reality twists and bends around this vestige . What is it doing now? Master of air, Master of earth and water fowl. This sanctuary is no place for the likes of you.

There was a video game made many years ago by PlayerZero Inc. It was an old black and yellow game where you play a flying heart that raises and lowers pitch to shatter object. My Heart Makes A Rude Sound has always stuck with me; even after all these years.

She slept for years. Then one day she got up and walked. She ran and leapt, she shouted with joy. What was death vanquished with light, shining life. We sought anguish, reeled for plight. There was non in the distance, none in sight. Nothing would rob here joy. No hell too deep, to heaven too high. I want to meet and talk with her. What was the mystery of her death, the secret of her life?

We stared at the surface and began to sink. Further down the light grew faint and darkness surrounds. deeper still, we seemed to sink for ages. The pressure became immense and walls began to creak. I seen the tall stalks of bottom dwelling plants, a graveyard of whale-falls. Deeper still the muck kicked up and bubbled from the ground. The air froze with every breath. We all looked for our hope, bu...

Stop reading this... This is now. This has always been now.

We built towers to reach to the heavens and to shine our light across the distance. We raised to the heavens in pods made of refined earth. To test our metal and prove our worth. Let's examine our reflection and remove our consideration for our greatness. We are time, we are water, we are earth. You heard what was said, we are dirt.

In the future we have perfected time travel. I stood in line to us the device. An accident occurred as I stepped into the machine. It activated with out a set date, time or place. And now here I am. Emily, if you can hear me, I'll be waiting.
