Just a Shadow

Monday

For those who watch Game of Thrones, man! What an episode! The army of the White Walkers is finally on the march, and the dead are a bitch to kill. Plus, Tyrion finally meets Daenerys. I'm going to have to watch the episode again tonight.

It's June and we had a high of 54 today. Our climate is so screwed up. The Washington Post conducted a survey and found a link between conservative religious types and climate change denial. Shocker.

Was it summer when the river ran dry,

Or was it just another dam.

When the evil of a snowflake in June

Could still be a source of relief.

Sorry for the delay. My life crumbling all around me has eaten up a lot of my time. But even though I am only a shadow of my former shadow, I will rise again. And I will be better, and even more shadowy.

It went so well for you

With a place right where you wanted and the ones to fill it to

But some blows break the spell

That it hits you every day until you need to hit as well

It's just a shadow of the man you should be

Like a garden in the forest that the world will never see

You have no thought of answers only questions to be filled

And it feels like hell

It all seemed fine for you

Till the struggle of ambition turned in violence upon you

Sometimes a landslide comes

If you're hiding in that avalanche you need a place to run
