There is a tendency for some to think that awareness in general is cause enough for intelligence. …

Revival

Wake me in the dead of night, That passion won’t fail and we still know, That all things broken shall come and go. Ephemeral longing to remain, ideas of forever Colliding in my brain. They can’t be helped but turned around, In their echo I find things only profound. Stars glimmer just beyond all hope That’s come and gone, to know their grace just once more, To be Reminded of all that’s still in store.
