The sky slams grey upon the world Sickness carried on the wind With autumn’s sickle flag unfurled Waiting for the end With poison held against the sky I watch these mindless fools Standing in silence Time slips by Eternal symbols rule A smile burns across my face I know this season well The horror of this human race I bid them all farewell

(Excerpt from a short story written September 1989) “...The boy closed the branches and the outside world retained its damp beauty and dark colors. The rough leaves still hissed as the soft rain pattered upon them. Inside the forest, however, the black and white stillness was felt again. The beauty and mystery the boy felt was unexplainable, but he realized the power of this place. No animals stirred. Only the chirps and calls of the birds above could be heard. The forest seemed empty, but the wide spaces between each thin tree contained an invisible life that could be felt as the boy stepped into the woods. Immediately, however, he stepped back. He sensed a power that he was not yet ready to confront. Though his spirit knew that this was the place of its origin, the boy couldn’t bring himself forward. The forest seemed to call him, but he remained still. Outside the insects creaked softly. Katydids crawled among the bushes and the rain continued to fall upon the land. The rough, mottled leaves with their strange colors bent in the falling rain. The scent of the damp earth penetrated the boy’s senses. He knew that he must leave this place. The outside world would not let him go just yet and he heard once more the continuous drone of the far away engine. As the boy returned to the path, the rain ceased falling. The sky remained deeply grey and the birds continued to rise and descend from the treetops. The day was ending but the boy knew he would return to this place. The forest would be waiting for him. As he reached the end of the path, he noticed large beetles boring into the damp wood of an ancient tree. The insects seemed to be part of the tree, their dark brown wings reflecting the wet bark. The boy then departed, leaving the forest with a calm and refreshed soul. He could face the world of the unnatural once more.”
