Dark humour

Mist. Night. A slight drizzle. A dimly lit campus.

Have you ever been so afraid that you want to run home and hide under the covers, yet awed beyond your ability to comprehend at the same time?

I was wandering about alone just now, and I was just struck by the beauty of the night. The dim lamps were putting rays of light through the mist, and it was just the kind of beauty that makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time.

How can the world be so ugly yet so beautiful all at once?


Home Is Behind

The World Ahead
And There Are Many Paths To Tread
Through Shadow
To The Edge Of Night
Until The Stars Are All Aligned

Mist And Shadow
Cloud And Shade
All Shall Fade
All Shall...Fade

-Pippin's Song, The Lord of the Rings

The photographer in me is turning green with envy.

Why does the poem smack of being taken from The Return Of The King movie?
