    Too Late For Love

    A lone cricket sings from the bushes
    under the cold October moonlight.

    He came too late,
    his song goes answered by none.

    And it won't be long before he is dead,
    killed in the approaching frosts of Autumn

    Too late, and he knows it;
    silence resumes here within the somber light

    Timeless,

    lost in a silver song,

    spun ember-legged and melodic
    under a crisp fallen foliage....

    an irreplaceable moment.

    Too Late


    The beginning started during the coming of an end
    While summer was gently dying in agony and then in peace

    While our recent pasts were soon to lay down on their deathbed

    While September was bringing a yellow, oldish hue to the calendar page

    While heroes about to die all too soon were crying angrily their rage


    September was the beginning, and in September came the end
    One year later, the same month called September changes visibly

    And it brings along so many deaths, but only too few regrettable

    Deaths and ends and new beginnings

    Deaths of heroes, communication, presence, feelings, past perceptions of the world


    Some memories will hopefully also die
    Those past discussions and happenings and everything we shall deny

    For it is too late now, we’re advancing through the mid of red October

    No words are spoken, no emotions are felt, nothing is admitted to our own selves

    Everything is cold and frozen, it’s too cold to get to reach the memories

    Utter darkness is banished by a single ray of light, look to the light of your essence, fuel the fire of your spirit, rise above circumstances and shout...
    POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!
    United we may stand and wrest our destinies from the forces that would doom us. We must rise again and stand, we must absolutely for, tis not only to stop some illegal war in a far off land but to prevent the disappearance of the human race from the universe, before it ever actually became "human".
    Know this; there is always time for love, and even one moment of the experience of "Love", is worth a lifetime. To truly love, is to be truly human, and this "holy grail" of experience is well worth any effort to achieve it.
    Excellent poem Trippin, descriptive of a reality that needs be a changin.

    The fulfilment of music is in silence.
