Termites

Eating away like the termites in room 772-13... dark and gloomed by the dust that aspires from the desperation.
Each piece by piece being bitten into... each piece of a living entity being destroyed by tiny specimins of what they call nature.
We are not that family that is enraptured and vulnerable... and desperate... are we?
Each new day I wonder if the termites will destroy my happiness or my life... my wonderfully spiritually connected being to another.
I'm not a termite... I am a piece of wood, you are a piece of wood but I wish you were metal... something that is less destroyed than the obvious.
Eating away like the hungriest creature... like a starving figure... like someone who acts on glutony and pain!!!!
Eating away!!!! Eating away!!!!!
Each night I pray... pray for them to stop eating away at you, I pray that they will be terminated like all the termites that were once in room 772-13.
I'm remembering each day like it was the last... we are here and so are you... I light a candle each day... I light an incent and pray... pray for you to be right back here... here... just here.

every thing what we cherish will one day be destroyed. but there is nothing as great as prayer, it is our hope always. thank you a 10 from me.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
