I am to me what I can't be To any other one-- At times it's quite discouraging At other times it's fun It may seem quite absurd to you All that I won't show And yet I feel you're just like me But only you would know.

I've always felt an overwhelming sense of luck. Here I am, existing, against almost unimaginable odds. The sheer improbability of my being, of any of us being, is staggering. Yet, here we stand, shining brightly in this vast cosmic tapestry. Our very planetary system stands as a testament to our extraordinary fortune. And if that isn't humbling enough, consider the vastness of the black hole in Messier 87, a galaxy 50 million light-years away, its...

Lies of night If the tip of a sun doesn't wash your ink away, Then your eye has sinned throw that lamp away, This darkness like a sigh is the sight of an eye, With the rise of a sun comes the news of a night, That which will give a raging fever to your art, For years has to burn like a flame in your heart, Every wood brings change when placed in a pyre, Happy or sad it's bewildered by a fire, Filled with memories are your empty eyes, Full...
