Blue Sky Sun Let’s go fishing today
The usual park with a large pond
I’m not concentrating.
Hey God, I’m going to use a special thread today.
I want to believe in the red thread of fate
And I’m waiting for you here today
The magic of the future at the end of the thread
The pond is sparkling in the sun
But the world isn’t that sweet.…

And today I was a little hopeful about the futureSoundtrack to A Paranormal Yazuka Duet: Curses & Kitsune by C.J. Ravenna

Dear My Loathsome Past,
to you I offer this poem of farewell!I have cast away the remains of these days
that can’t get any worse, these most terrible dreams even if it kills me.For in the next life,
a flower will bloom to tell you a poem of transition;We spend some time wondering
if we should go or head on back.
I’m sure we’ll face hardship…
but after the slightest hesitation,
we straighten up and head onward.That’s right, we have to go!
Even with nothing, we have to go on living! -

Slipping through to tantalizeWhen you sing

And I dance around, around, around, in circles -

You show up when no one’s home
Are you real or just a lie
I can feel you in my mind and my soul
But I love when you jump in
And help me feel something
