Premium Member If I was never meant to shine
If I was never meant to shine like stars, But walk through dark with dust stuck to my shoes, Then please forgive me, God, for all my scars, For finding hope in pain I didn’t choose. My voice was small, too soft for most to hear, A quiet sound that faded in the night. But still I spoke, though no one...

Premium Member From Shadow to Shine
Skills were suppressed while others took flight a way of life put to rest another came to bear Scratched in moonlight held on for a wild ride spread across reality like ash in shifting wind Generational shifts pathways dimly lit leading toward a white hot light From solitude to fortitude no picnic but a buffet of trials and triumphs I’ve stood on stages unrefined buffed and polished by time until life and...

Premium Member You Have No Clue 2
Before your clocks, before your name/ Before dust whispered into bone/ There was light-I was flame/ Crowned in brilliance, alone/ Not fallen. Not damned. Just other/ Too bright for Heaven's fragile sky/ They called it pride, not knowing the shudder/ Of a God who dared to cry/ They shaped me from the holiness' edge/ But chained my glow in fear/ I rose beyond their sacred...

Night Shine
Night falls in neon showers Here in the nocturnal simmer of summer slick city blacktops spark electric. The juiced-up take to their cars, pull into fast food haunts where glazed eyes return to two-way mirrors, others fall without noticing into a numb subliminal hum an electric divining of something bad to come. An ear crawling buzz, the static clutter of criminal minds distorts the crests of overheated airwaves. distant...

Sometimes Not Only The Mountains Shine
There is a legend deep in the Montana territory, The ancient tale of the shiny mountains that only few can see. Those majestic peaks soar upward almost piercing the clear blue sky, Yet one knows the real shine lies deep inside. Hidden deep inside the mountains it waits patiently, Waiting for that chosen one to set it free. Soon...

Even if obscured by overcast weather, the full moon still radiates. It maintains a steadfast presence until the building clouds, as they always do, are dispersed by the wind. Then the night sky is illuminated once more so those fortunate enough to look up will be in awe. Ignore outside forces attempting to lessen your uniqueness....

REMEMBER HOW TO SHINE
Tribute To: Prince “Purple Rain” I was a quiet ache, Tucked behind a smile too practiced, A soul in exile From the sound of its own name. Then your song came.. Not like thunder, But like morning. It didn’t shout Or demand my hands be clean. It just stood there, Open, And let the Light spill in. You didn’t say I had to be brave, Just honest. Not pure, Just present. And...
