I Saw Myself In the Morning Mist
A Poem of Self Reflection
I saw myself in the morning mist
as it hovered o'er the lake.
While I watched the vapor vanish,
I realized my fate.
The mist keeps rising skyward,
till it falls in drops of rain
To complete its vital cycle
and become the lake again.
This body is just vapor,
and the world is but a lake.
I am constantly ascending
with every breath I take.
I will reach my zenith,
as I draw my final breath
And rain upon the landscape
at the moment of death.

Do You Know?
Do you know why everybody was Kung Fu fighting on a bridge over troubled water? Do you know the night they drove old Dixie down, was a long time before the night Chicago died? If so, then I'm sure you are aware that nights in white satin surrounded by the sound of silence are all right during the week, but everybody's working for the weekend because Saturday night's all right for fighting or for practicing your night moves down on Main Street at the Hotel California. If you disagree with me on this, you can take the highway to Hell or fly like an eagle over to sweet home Alabama.

The Reluctant Reporter
"You can't send me!" "There is no-one else. It's you or no-one, and that is not an option." Ameera looked at the fat paunch and florid face of her boss, a man who lived for the story and the kudos it brought him but who rarely gave consideration to the people behind the drama. When had he become so hard? She reckoned that by the end of the year, he'd be dead, collapsed from a heart attack and she struggled to conjure any sympathy in that moment and instantly felt ashamed at displaying the same lack of compassion that he had.
