On a Sunday Morning :
All these monstrous
Words forsaken
Tumbling down
Into night
Forgotten…
In silence
And sweet sorrow
On the spilled roadside

Sketch by Guylaine Theriault
“We met in Eden
The troubled time
Rustling in the night leaves
Was it a question?
Search?
Or strangling?
I wonder…
We never talked
But welcome here to the campfire
Share our meal
And tell us of your life
Beyond the sunset”
Jim Morrison – Wilderness, Volume 1

A silent vigil
Against the sea of time
Have they won? Perhaps…

And in their vacant rooms
Wander the souls of the dead
Who keep watch on the living”

“And from that time on
I bathed in the Poem of the Sea,
Star-infused and churned into milk,
Devouring the green azures ;
Where,…
Entranced in pallid flotsam,
A dreaming drowned man sometimes goes down…
I know the evening
And Dawn rising up like a flock of doves
And sometimes I have seen
What men have imagined they saw…”

As light towers over darkness.”
