Antidote

The biggest antidote to the nothingness inside

Is to focus attention elsewhere

Create something

Make something

Learn something

Write something

And when all is said and done

At least there will be that

Something

In the nothing.

Software Developer Quote of the Day

There’s a bit of a flaw in this code.

New Winds

Old winds fly by forever

Never to be captured or contained

The trick is to

Accept nature at her word:

Fresh winds bring fresh

Worlds

Patience is key.

Question

I stopped looking

And for a brief moment

You found me.

If I stop searching

Looking

Desiring

Perhaps for a longer moment

I will be found?

Desperation

Like a tsunami devastating

Everything in its sight

Emotions arise

Devouring our best

Intentions

We are left discarded –

Thrown against a blackened road

Our broken bones bruise our

Flesh

And when all calm returns

The only thing we can cling to

Is a desperate

Hope.

Pain

The first cut

Apparently

Is the deepest

So I sliced myself

Over and over and over

Again

So I would never feel that

Lonely depth of pain

Anymore.

Relentless

A black hole grows inside me and threatens to swallow me whole

The more I cast into it the more I am consumed

I am being eaten alive and the pain is

Relentless.

Will You?

If I hold my heart out

Will you take it, will you dare?

Will you take my heart

Within your hands

Will you hold my heart with care ?

Will you love me as I love

Will you never let me go

Will you walk beside me

Will you love me so?

Strands of Grey

It was only when I stopped for awhile

And allowed the color to drain from my hair

That I saw the beauty and wisdom

In each strand of grey.
