Here are some of the random lines and rhymes that I have read or heard that are circling in my head.
First some song lines:
My global position systems are vocally addressed
The say the Nile used to run from east to west
- The Killers, Spaceman.
You came on your own, that's how you'll leave
with hope in your hands and air to breathe
I won't disappoint you as you fall apart,
some things should be simple, even an end has a start-Editors, An end has a start
You thought you might be a ghost
you didn't get to heaven but you made it closeColdplay - 42

Next, I have just finished reading The Road, by Cormac McCarthy.
This book is just incredible. It moved me beyond tears. I cannot explain it. It is poetic and stark and lyrical. And the ending is the most complete that I have read in a long time. It just felt right. My words are not adequate so just read it.
Here are some of the lines that really struck me:
...the bleak and shrouded earth went trundling past the sun and returned again as trackless and as unremarked as the path of any nameless sisterworld in the ancient dark beyond.
Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.
(138)
On this road there are no godspoke men. They are gone and I am left and they have taken with them the world. Query: How does the never to be differ from what never was?
(p32)

And after that challenging question I shall leave you with the words of my hero, Cartman:
Screw you guys, I'm going home.
