I wrote this about three months ago, completely spur of the moment. I just starting writing and couldn't seem to be able to stop. That's rare, people. I'd like to turn it into a song. Someway. Somehow. But for now, I'll leave it here.... Every nation, every heart Every ear will hear the start Of …
Then
I remember, it was then Every chance to play pretend Never thought about the end when it was then. It was then when we were younger With a different kind of hunger Holding on to one another One hand upon the other. Now the rain has made it down six feet underground and the brown …

So, I became  inspired and wrote this whole thing today. Amateur hour, I know...but I loved every minute of writing this. So...ya, here it is. "The Majesty Of …

Faults, Cracks, Blanks, and Gaps
*** QUICK PREFACE: I want to be clear about the beginning of this writing. I will speak of the heart and mind being at war but I don't desire for anyone to assume that I mean one is solely bad and the other is solely good. They work together. That's all. (This is for anyone …
I’m Working On My Backwards Walk.

This post mainly consists of my childhood experience so I do apologize if it seems sappy or filled with self-pity. My heart is not to …
