a flood of stagnant flux
there is a symphony of...

Pausing to munch a trembling snack
As his...

Kayaking Down the River of LiesI eased our kayak into the river of lies.

an eager reader had many books that were
given and sometimes stolen, often from
those who thought books were decorations

Life
Let the wind blow the sails while the waves hit hard.

Message in a BottleI bottle my emotions,
Seal them tight like messages in glass,
Cast adrift in vast, uncaring seas,
Only to wash ashore, unbidden and misunderstood.
It was a journey long and weary,
These bottled whispers floating aimless,
Until sands of fate urge...

As we too
Fail to
Live forever
On this earth
And seek
