(April 7, 2025) To new beginnings, A moment in time where we have an opening to try and start anew Every soul has dealt with yearning for a chance to redeem themselves What better way than to start in the Spring, How angelic it is when we see the leaves bloom and everything starts to look rich again. I for...

BOOM. a puff of purple powder stains the pewter sky. i sit, listening to the whirring and fizzling of the firey starlit, glistening when the midnight clock strikes nigh. a red light joins in the heavens high, shimmering and with a crisp, cool whistling a tune as musical, magical as fiddling that steals away breaths by and by. when all is said and done, and the burns...

On dark, cold soil, atop the soaring green turf, lay cold, rusty, nostalgic houses. The path that led to them was faded and shallow, with the feeling it could cave in at any moment. Scattered along that path were derelict vehicles from different eras each one different heaps of life. Fog filled the houses. It filled the cars too, like a raging campfire, too sinister to be put out. And yet here...

On golden shores waves were crashing Beams of sunlight, I saw flashing and stopped rowing. I stilled my oars. Waves were crashing on golden shores Gulls shrieked while the wind was blowing I stilled my oars and stopped rowing.

My friend is the ocean, waters that glide, Rustling my footsteps and tousling my hair; Many the times that we walked side by side, A spark and forever, joined as a pair. Always a cloud there lay over its play, Dappled the sunlight that fell on my face; Heaving, its waters had something to say; Twilight with meteors it took for the...
