'I was having this awful nightmare that I was 32. And then I woke up and I was 23. So relieved. And then I woke up for real, and I was 32.' - Celine, Before Sunset

Far From Home


Northern Dusk
Originally uploaded by Mark Ordoñez


I grew up from place much different from this
A place where dust is in every crevice
Where the sun sets early in the evening
And where the day ends late at night

Where I am right now could not be more distant
For it takes no notice of the world beyond
It exists where reality ends for some
And it survives purely in the minds of most

The leaves here grow weary as the seasons change
And here, the autumn breeze carries a forlorn fall
The dream of here can only be for now
A flight not for me and maybe not for all
