Premium Member Always Tell A Story
Everywhere I get to No matter where it is There are stories Some are told loudly Screamed from the mountaintop Some are whispered Barely spoken and barely heard A few are lost to time Never told or talked about Every one of them is worth knowing And being shared when it is possible The good thing is if you do share one It will never be...

The Stories We Tell Before Sleep
People say I fall asleep too fast. That I’m always the first to drift, the easiest to rest. They see the calm, the early nights, the quiet that fills the room when I close my eyes. But they don’t know, Inside, a story is always waking. Before my breath slows, before my body surrenders to the dark, my mind blooms like a...

"A Cemetery Can Take Your Breath Away. Watch Out Where You Walk." By Poet When I travel I love taking photos, of cemeteries and of a pretty rose. Sometimes the picture gets my painted toes, or maybe even my nose. On one trip I took a long flight, when looking at my photos I saw a bright light. Taken in the daytime...

Tell Me What This Means And My Hope For Humanity Will Find Peace
Yesterday I forgot how to fly. I went to take off and the sky wouldn't take me. Clouds too puffed up to let someone like me into their streets. They must have taken them - my wings. They think I don't belong there. I know because that's where the rest of humanity is - on the ground. Now that I think about...
