Teenage Age
Teenage age The adolescent stage, they call it An age where you start to understand the world A stage of supposed maturity But how confusing it can be Souls shrouded in endless mystery Wandering lost in search of answers Minds wavering like wild hogs In the darkness of the night There they seek solace Like humans, yet with souls of vampires Minds haunted by the daylight At...

The Survivors
Forever gone, forever we understand The pain lingers on, stronger beyond The thud of agony and the memory Captures the groans of a desperate cry Laid in a little rest with friends and family to be the martyrs reunited in eternity, As in the heart when life is over Time closes our eyes to this world of terror. Grief shows the path...

Old is a good thing. Some people never get a chance to be old. At what point did I start bragging about my age? I don’t remember, but here I am – 94! Anyone that old has survived a mountain of things. We’ve been at an ugly stage of growing up, sometimes scorned, bullied, or the butt of the joke. We’ve lived through awkward, embarrassing teenage years. We’ve been hopelessly...

Survivors
In my life, I’ve known bold men, that laid down their souls. We sing songs of their virtues, through lyrics and prose. But no one sings the praises, of wives left alone. Or the children who live with, no father at home. “To glory”, the soldier cries, to battle they rush. While their wives remain at home, forgive them they must. War is hell for everyone, we must...

Warrior of Resilience a Tribute To Survivors of Sexual Assault
She walks alone, with a heavy heart Haunted by the memories that tear her apart She's a victim of sexual assault, a survivor of pain But she refuses to let her past define her again She's a warrior, a fighter, a force to be reckoned with She's a symbol of strength, a beacon of hope, a light that won't dim She's...

To see the world, all the good as a child at a seasonal faire counting months in inches grown and inherited faint-colored hairs. All days number three hundred and sixty five so glad they still are.. same as the nights, in eternity of a young life under crackling camp fires and countless unnamed stars. We survivors,...

Survivors
Plants that grow on arid spaces, They thrive in the midst of the driest deserts; They survive on slopy rock edges; They bear the scourge and ravages of ages. Even in the depth of gusty circumstances, like the sun, they shine, even in chancy races; They always light up a glow in their faces like an image of true love, full of...
