What goes up does not necessarily come down. When this happens the

laws of physics are suspended, just as the wind is ignored when we

forget to breathe. Some make themselves victims of life, but I

have chosen to become the conqueror of life. As I rise up, I stay up and

never fall down, because down is the means to an end,

RISE UP! - Dave Dave 2001

Falling through life on another page, my soul is lifted and feels no rage.

A solder I walk through land of no mans and united I stand alone, for I

am a gift you are receiving, even if you don't understand a word I speak,

listen. - Dave Dave 2001

October Halloween

Whisper in, create a sound

Whisper falls upon the ground

Whisper wraps around my back

All the sheep will spread around

A whisper in a word

Is a whisper in the wind

With punctuation set aside

My patience growing thin

A whisper in a thought

Is a whisper in a dream

Oh, when a thought

Goes with a whisper

October Halloween
