The eternal silver screen
But many souls are lost here

Each day’s (we’re alive) one more leaf that has fallen

Written: By Tom Wright
4/3/2007
Remember the slogan
“Haskell is moving, are you pushing?
The railroad depot stands no more

A Meditation On 'Giving In God's Will'
I could be way off base, but I think that ‘Control’
and ‘Graced Giving’ are opposites, poles that can’t meet
in a space with dimensions, where sanity floats
and integrity lives (for one can’t buy a gift!)

They'Re Trying To Tell You
They’re trying to tell you

Are an exhausting game of whack-a-mole

Things that go through my brain on a Thursday morning
In the depths of my heart, a shadow dwells, Regret's icy grip, a tale it tells. Missed opportunities, choices made, Unraveled dreams, a path that swayed. Like a phantom, it haunts my waking hours,...

Time and the river
Endless silver morning

Pines swaying in constant winds
Morning mirror
Another gray hair
Ah! the wind of time
Spring's last daffodil

Diamond blue fragments
Reflecting off...

a bore,...
