Welcome to The McCarter Institute

I travel down a road to nowhere particular

Chaseing a brilliant elusive spotlight of real 

Searching thru life's backyard experiences

Hoping for fragments resembling a truth

Inside my now, compacted, limited wisdom 

I continue down the emotional unfamiliar

Always beholding upon my curious nature

Totality's embraced De-Ja-Vue as positioned 

With a regularly inquisitive tempered mind

Curiosity flails about under promised relief

Thunders announced coming, blurry at best

Questions usually slide between fixed cracks

Time's camouflaged appearances displayed 

Purposeful characters, to visuals blended spy

Everyday prognosis, a life's suggested futility

Today's trodden path, memory's created color

Whilst catching reflected segments of paradise

Inside pierced, decadent rays of staged uniform

Everyday's averaged, entanglements dissolved

Frightful intentions, traverse casually into air

Totality finds a desperately influential surprise aloofly

Briefly the segregated camouflage, shuffles a blind spy

Timid reminders, break upon thy secretive campaigning

Measures profuse demanding, sidesteps realities adhere

Instrumental followings, rampaged within destinies pew

Sagas treated release, under sorrows foiled shenanigan

Tip-toed adherence, blindly hoisting the checkered flag

Everything, minus a nine-degree pestering of malcontent

Blistered interference reaped of a complicated allowing

Broken alliance, dwindled before awakened acceptance

Twinged pestilence, gliding over sovereign destinations

Livings territorial, unwinding stale before a taloned fury

Daily's polished overview, beseeched of wily's content

Strong-willed to aberrations deftly sounded recurrence

Undermining, a progressive alliance strongly garnished

Systemizing a gross domestic, terroristic, confinement

Livings grounded postulations running a gambit of time

Seasoned overnighting tone-deaf to minuscule alluring

Eventualities uprising the final compromising of truth

Leveraged happenstance, life's seepage into an unknown

The ambiguous decline, our mutual compliance held

Yesterday's theater, skipping through targeted allow

Bellowed following of a tongued misdirection found

Every beseeched affirmation, a thinned reverberation

Renounced constitution, spinning blindly among belie

Shadows postulation, times Devine truthful unfolding

Disbelief strewn of things living tentacled obedience

each talon clawed thru a timely minute's investigation

Pressure filled destiny, haloed before the mass reveal

Grimly the associated evolvement, stages a past due

Hurtful understanding, permeates a thoughtful ignite

Wintry, a life's icy event; sliding in an unpreparedness

Thunders derailment, sending twofold affirmations

Clavicle holdings, heavy in benched involvements ire

Sutured connectivity, beginnings attempt to a rebuild

Flustered following, grounded to a benign exploration

Today's retched testimonial, running abstruse gambit

Fertilizing nomenclatures round-about visualizations

The dancing deprivations, hide a solemn compromise

Parched actuations void of factual involvement found

The sizzling excitement of yesterday

Flowing serenely through minds flu

Heated upon the ambers of ecstasy

Await in me, a time's remembrance

Liquid involvement's most highest tilt

Driven toward another faltering stay

Hath allowed momentary's insanity

Making real, life's justifiable conclusion

Loosely poised beginnings committed

Clinging desperately on thinned wiring

Barters none, into something everlasting

Cementing heavy filled anchors needed

While eternities rounded conglomeration

Focused solely before starry-eyed mystery

Handing down a times concluded finality

We stroll among endeavors  tossed seas

Through life's tell-tale signs, in hindsight

Written nightly before dawns scripted end

A story told in Timely Minutes insistence

Just another memory released of freedom

Thunders applaud of well-rounded existence

We gather in timely minutes of brotherhood

Our sojourn of prominence, a faded passage

Life grants each of us a temporary visitation

On history's chronology upon written record

Entries of a deeded acknowledgement reside

Characters compounded affirmations reveal

The wayward journey paved of an eventuality

Harmonious tunneling to predestined arrival

Today's gathering seals a conclusive gesture

Thoughts and prayers precede the livings end

Tomorrows blazoned memories guide us still

Cherished reminders dance in souls solitude

New beginnings brood salvations connectivity

Pressure release of a witnessed painful flush

Exasperated compliance a running of dismiss

Triumphant reminders upon valued survivors

Destinies expanded overture the quiet ordeal

Waste not, fleeting moments of borrowed plea

Challenge every memoir to your related displa
