New 50mm lens + a walk to Union Sq

i bought a new 50mm lens today and i am so happy with it! I went for a walk tonight to Union SQ to try it out, enjoy!

It came to me last night

A dream came to me

where i watched myself napping

on the couch suffocating

but it was peacefully

my guardian arrived and checked on me

'oh she's just napping i'll let her be"

in the meantime i'm gasping for air

i cant breathe!

but i cant move either

just the image of eyelids fill my sight

i just stand there watching myself be limp to this fight

my guardian checks up on me what seems like hours later

mumbles something in hopes im half conscience

no luck, and thinks "man she's really exhausted"

countless time passes by

and now she's concerned and wonders why

"she's looking very still,

let me wake her, perhaps she's ill"

i stand in the shadow witnessing

i cheer my guardian on

"yes yes! go see what's wrong!"

but no such luck, she, i mean me,

i won't awake

so she shakes and shakes

me harder but still i lay

i pace back in forth trying to get out of the way

oh yea she can't see me

what does it matter anyway?

i'm just hopeless and helpless as i stare at us two

i hit the wall and scream what the heck am i supposed to do!?

i stare back at my guardian anxiously

whats that? she's on her knees praying?

finally! after years she leans on the light

too bad i lay still and can't really take sight

but wait what's happening now?

i feel my eyelids starting to fight

they flicker back and forth

and the air starts to trickle through my throat

as the bricks are lifted off my chest

my eyes open, i smile and say "hi!

that was quite enough rest"

shes laughs and starts to cry

i say "whats wrong?" even though i know why

and she begins to tell me the story

or better yet, her testimony.

Philadelphia

The suns morning light

pushes through the twilight

another sleepless night

forfeits the good fight

accepts it to arise

while uncovering the eyes

we move on to prove strong

which we were all along

held tightly where we belong

its shown

we're not alone

nope, we're no alone

its true we are not alone

surely everyday its shown

we are not alone

like little lambs pushing through

following whats true

we hit one brick wall that wont seem to move

and say "oh! i told you!"

"faith was hard to do"

but we move on to prove strong

which we were all along

held tightly where we belong

its shown

we're not alone

nope, we're no alone

its true we are not alone

surely everyday its shown

we are not alone
