My Madness & The Key: Recollection — 2009

More than a decade ago, on a piece of paper after a long long night I scribbled with pencil, almost illegibly the following lines during a dire period of my fading youth, and have held them dearly ever since. I came across it recently while moving and wanted a more proper -and lasting- home for it.

From my madness always driven
May my heart once be forgiven

An unfamiliar dream of seas
Will be the door and us the key.

Ocean Beach in San Francisco

A small but transcending memento that reflects on what I felt and penned down years ago.
