We are like waves crashing.
A gradual force thrust against the inevitable.
We drown to breathe.
Each gasp a suffocation.
Catastrophic incidents of euphoria.
Amorous expressions of disbelief.
Waving curiosity and the capacity of our thoughts to reach the shores of others.
Lingering chances drift ashore on the beaches of their dreams; Unseen and unnoticed as ourselves.
Seeking the urge to drown and surface we kiss the force of life, leaving sand dollars and soft glass, storing our music in shells.
Hearts cling to feelings as starfish to rocks and hands as tides move slow and constant.

Take off your shoes and socks. Roll up your pant legs.
We’ll run through wet fields with laughter on our faces.
We’ll jump over thistles and roll over clovers.
Pants with grass stains and mud on our backs, we’ll tumble together in joyous embrace.
Swimming holes and rope swings are the trophies of the day, where sand will invade spaces between toes.
A dessert of cloud gazing with warm sun à la mode.

Lifted from lakes and rivers; Stolen from the sea.
Carried through impossible distances and heights unbelievable.
How brief is the journey down to Earth to splash upon our faces… To wash the walls, windows and streets and bring new life?
A moment to form; another to fall. A moment to make the world new again.

The darkest thoughts on the brightest of days,
Sitting alone and watching all.
Jet black eyes gaze down at the ants.
They scurry. They shuffle. They meander. They run.
Going nowhere… Trapped in their roles.
Watch. Wait. Perceive and decide.
The time is coming. He is coming.
There will be no remorse.
Only consumption.

So, I haven’t actually taken the time to write about my trip to Lodi. I haven’t actually taken the time to write anything. So… Here’s my wall of doodles that I add to whenever bored!
