Premium Member Confronting Shadows
in the spring, when petals praise within the song of grace who’ll amaze beneath the silence of a gentle bud there is a power, power in the blood in the summer, when stories reveal hope so sacred, sacred enough to heal beyond the sun grows a life of wonder singing exultation in the raging thunder in the autumn, when leaves begin to weep there...

Summer's End
Burning like fever in the spring our love affair was on the wing then drifted away on the summer wind now I'm thinking of you how good it used to be holding on to precious memories and every teardrop has a tale to tell every teardrop fills a wishing well changing like autumn leaves that fall your love it comes and goes then melts away...

Morning Ritual;Autumn
Outside the trees are called by the Autumn’s breeze. The door isn’t perfectly shut as the leaves seep through the uneven cracks. The whistling tune from Nature’s broken karaoke machine finds its way under the door. Slowly the shadows become dimmer as the morning sun sets in and the birds begin to chirp as the crickets causes a ruckus enough to wake the subconscious mind from sleeping internally. The...

When Autumn Speaks
When leaves drop heavy as unsent Letters upon the dampened earth, I taste the copper in cold air— Your warmth dissolved in autumn's dearth. October fog wraps ash-grey threads Around the words we left for dead, Each syllable a weighted stone That settles in my chest alone. But winds grow cold where shadows climb, Where promises dissolve in time, And hours spill like wine uncorked— Each...

The song of an unspoken beauty, the dance of a graceful painting, the colors of a gentle wave. Pink, tinged across the blue, bands of color floating lazily about,...

Year After Year
Let the rain fall through the town From the hills, all around Watch the flowers grow in sync They'll stand tall but don't you blink Then the time of laugh and cheer Which will never disappear Fog stays the most of all Soon after the leaves fall The chilling age in time is here With snowfall always near The year repeats time again But the...

Premium Member The Loudest Silence
in the air, just after the storm there is a stillness, changing the heart, the soul so wherever light falls there are shadows of regret reflected in the music the rhythm of serenity fading beneath the sea of grief wisdoms shame our deeds as the stars reveal each pitiful pleasure, each intimate gesture in the air, after the storm in the hesitation of a silent melody in the...
