This is the end...

Journal Entry: Mon Aug 23, 2010, 10:23 AM
Beautiful friend, this is the end, my only friend, the end...
I'll never look into your eyes...again...

For 15 years I had a little special place in this planet, a place where my childhood dreams used to become reality, a small little paradise where I used to roam freely forgetting about time and day and enjoying life with friends either long gone from my life or grown up and responsible.
It was a small part of the Greek landscapes where I could find peace of mind, take away everything negative and just look endlessly into the vast sky full of stars, the fading sun, the glowing palms, life in its finest form.
I still remember the fist day I lay my eyes into that place, it was like I was in heaven, I swore to myself that from that day I would never ever again skip the chance to be in there among strangers but yet friends in one of the most beautiful spots I had ever seen.
My dreams where there, I was only a young boy, it was a new adventure, but an adventure that would follow me for the rest of my life. There are no words I can describe my sorrow, one of the most beautiful parts of Greece does not exist anymore, only because the lust of humanity can never stop, it never did it never will...
Goodbye my "friend"...you will always be in my heart...and my childhood dreams, thoughts, acts will be always there with you...it's like I lost a friend of mine...
I can't do much more...only the song that played at one my favorite nights in that paradise...

The time is close now, the end is near
My walk through the valley, trails of fear
I feel empty, my penance overdue,
I guess it's too late now to be with you
I'm extremely frightened of what will surely be
I sold myself, the death of me
I know you can't forgive me I know I'm on my own,
I've betrayed you I walk alone

What exactly is the meaning of this
Just pawns in your twisted game
Severe pain for the lie I'm livin'
For a love I never could betray

Question me not say the lord unto thee
You have chosen your own fate and your own destiny
Denied of this life is what you are to be
You have chosen your own fate and your own destiny

Lord I pound my fists at you
Won't you just let me die
Would I not suffer enough
No inner peace no after life

I did what I thought was right
All for the love of my life
I know it's sad but true
Something is very wrong
Condemned to suffer so long
For a love so true

The question that lies within
Is so hard to understand
It still tears at me
And in my dying breath
My heart holds no regrets
I wouldn't change a thing

My spirit begins to rise to the heavenly skies
Just to be shunned away by you
Now all I want is to die, no streets of gold in the sky
And I wash my hands of you

Rising to the heaven's light
Just to plead for death
Just to be denied

Rising to the heaven's light
Just to plead for death
Just to be denied

Ooohhh, I know you can't forgive me
I know I'm on my own
I know that I've betrayed you
You know I walk alone
You know I walk alone

I walk, I walk the trail of fear
I pound my fists at you
I'm shunned away by you
I wash my hands of you

Why won't you let me die
Why won't you let me die
Why won't you let me die

Lovely colors which emphasize the time of the day, the slow shutter used adds to the dramatic hour, the sun is low, the light is fading...

This is a fantastic shot, a lovely use of composition on a simple subject! The lines are strong, and they drag the eye inside the frame...
