Roses are difficult everywhere
You must promise me you'll stay
These long stems are freakish if anything

Terry's gift is forever green
It got me up and back on the scene
We don't go to hell just our memories do

Fantastic gap, common space
Open concept in your smiling face
We don't go to hell the memories of us do
And if you go to hell I'll still remember you

Re: APOD: Light Pillars over Whitefish Bay (2018 Oct 24)

We can take it a little bit further
We can stick to the after effects part
Not trying to make you a believer
Don't want a little piece of your heart
Just telling you a story about the lake fever
Or we can skip to the neutral fury
You didn't say yes or no neither
You whispered hurry

I'm an autodidact anorak so, I have many interests that range from human consciousness to the cosmic...
