Premium Member My Father's Love Echo
The arrival of his departure (A numb and cruel upheaval starter) was an emotional core rupture; a visual goodbye to my father. I saw his final, last inhale that would never flow to release. I saw his life light fade to pale before leaving to forever peace. In time, I joyously came to know his essence was such a strong force, he could bend...

Here’s what I should have done
I should have heard all the indications that the level of danger was low; no shots fired, no weapons, no anger or injuries, and no screaming, just a possible exchange of counterfeit currency. I should have arrived on scene happy and glad that this was not a place of terror from gun shots, citizens hurt and...

Your participation in creation, Creates a unique vibration, Rippling across the nation. Reality in transformation, Feel the invasion, As love finds it's way in, Raising the vibration, Within the collective we play in. Creating a state...

Hanging on
Hanging on By a thread Trying to remember What to believe When hope is gone And only dread remains You strike a match And let it burn The candle flickers at both ends For any respite the heart still yearns Before the darkness again descends Striving Straining Stumbling Falling She has forgotten how to fly Forgotten how to try Forgotten how to cry Her...

I am 1,248 songs of complicated rhythm. Prose and verses tell a story of my decisions…my indecision. I am skin shaped, in 42 different shades of foolery, a life lover doing my best to avoid an other, but they seem to be everywhere these days.

Rare Bird
'It takes one to know one', so they do state, but that won't take you far, as we're never told exactly who these 'they' are.
