Fly Away, Bird
The swish of heaven glimpsed beneath in girl's Winter eyes — this solo bird, she's large seen by blue. She beats me, with her song — memory streaks the air childhood, womanhood with her song, she beats on me. I also have wings, heartbeats. Beneath my ruin, feathers.

Premium Member Ridin' Through the Fog
The fog sits heavy on broken ground, Snow lays light where the stubble’s browned. No sun, just hush and hoofbeat slow, And breath that drifts like chimney smoke. The cows stand scattered, heads hung low, Dark shapes caught in a pale gray glow. I ride out quiet, don’t make a sound... They know this hat, this horse, this ground. A calf’s come early,...

I would recommend Him to my closest friends; I'd vouch for His counsel even to my enemies. Success is not determined in the immediate; time will...

Dinner Bell
The sun will shine, The moon will rise. The nights will always glimmer. The birds will fly, The bugs will glide, The people will hide for winter. Everyday subsidies, Everyday I survived, I still don’t feel like a winner. All the plates will be shined, All the guests get invites, But I’ll still eat alone for...
