I’ve been lost under seas,
Found my way and then lost my beat.
Saw death and birth along the way,
Wondered how long I could continue this day.
Looked back at life, and laughed a loud,
At nothing, just the shape of a cloud.
Along a haze I’ve swam alone,
To the edge of my calling back home.
Turned around for the life of my own,
Saved by the breath of another man’s son.
Gave it back ten fold and continued to run,
As chum in the water laid out as one,
Casted to predators for the evening stroll.
We played with the lady that is never controlled.
Laid on her like flowers caressing the dew.
Stretched out hands for the things we never knew,
Guided by Arawak the Spaniards ceased,
We drift, souls freed.
About ABSTRACT KING
I'm originally from a small town in Central Texas, Lampasas. In the early stages writing was often spurred by some emotional event. What is currently on the Abstract King website is "the tip of the iceberg" so to speak. A pile of indecipherable hand written journals, thousands of photos, and hundreds of hours of video have sat collecting dust in storage over the years. Wondering about the effects fire, flood, or death would have on this massive amount of "me", drove me to create something more permanent. So, I began digitizing all the written words, editing, and sharing pieces with friends. The site is an extension of the positive feedback and intrinsic value I have received since. For the sake of creation, I put it out there for you. If you have an emotional response along the paths in my kingdom, then that's a bonus!
