Anyway, I am actually re-posting some of this…

This poem was awarded a First Award and the Best of Division Award at the 2006 San Joaquin County Fair.

Shall we walk this mountain trail,
within the heavens’ frosty veil.
Into the great misty heights,
of the rocky mountainside.
Over glittering hills of snow,
to seek the distant land below.

Shall we walk this darkened street,
leading to a city of dreams.
Under the frosty streetlamp’s gaze,
and through the colossal concrete maze.
The glare of a window’s yellow light,
reveals the phantoms of people inside.

Shall we walk these paths of time,
guided by a distant shine.
But loneliness will be no more,
for hope shall shine forevermore.
The light afar in the misty grey,
Will turn this night into the day.

Old house beside the road
with broken shutters and rusting door.
Dark gaping window frames
inhaling drifting age and dust.
Sitting through the empty years,
a ghost of a family’s past.Tall building standing proud
adorn with shattered windowpanes.
Broken and rusting concrete walls
alive with waving phantom grass.
Creaking and rotting for so long,
a ghost of a broken dream.

Empty city of the night
filled with creaking metal and wood.
From rusting skyscrapers tall
to the many empty homes,
its lamps extinguished long ago,
the ghosts of humankind.

As you may have noticed, my photography gallery has been quite empty for a while. However, this is going to change.

The past few days, I have uploaded a significant batch of photos from last year’s trips that have been sitting in my computer for a loooooong time as well as some recent ones. Now that I have more free time (*ahem summer), I will be able to synchronize my affluent DeviantART gallery with my own.

So, please stay tuned.
