Know what makes a
Jack-O-Lantern scary
It’s not the face
That has been carved
But the candle flickering
The same with people
Those with the brightest
Hearts with the whitest
Purest and warmest hearts
Both attract and repel
Almost all of those
With their own brand
Of deadly darkness inside
They’re the ghoulish ones
I live in a
Galaxy of stars suns
As they are known
All giving off light
But all also dying
None can be touched
All only are admired
Most people are suns
When young burn brightly
But as they age
And their own pompous
Mass begins to collapse
They don’t go away
Quietly like candles
But rather implode taking
Everyone and everything close
Live for today
Hope for tomorrow
But never ever
Miss the past
The past had
Once been today
When tomorrow hopeful
Hadn’t started yet
Let things go
Let things come
Always remain here
The best way there
Is by starting here
There is every where
But here is the
Only place that you
Can ever truly be
Enjoy here for here
Is where you’ll find
Your happiness over there
Is simply a temptation
Then I pressed play
And off we went
Two characters in film
Still life and motion
Flickering posing and candid
Backdrops and portraits portrayed
Our own little comedy
And now and still
These motion pictures and
Screen tests are all
I have to remember
