Why?
Why does this rank fear come through us that permeates the land? Why does this rank fear come through us like dark and shifting sand? Why can’t we stand up straight and tall, heads held high and proud? Why can’t … Continue reading

The End
The day she died we never knew; us ‘lucky ones’ – ‘the chosen few’. Living in our worlds secure; all sacrosanct and Oh so pure. We felt her pass – the trembling earth; death from which there is no rebirth. … Continue reading

They wander loose within my mind; these words my humble writings find. They twist and turn within my brain; I let them out or go insane. Sometimes I see them on their own, like single seeds the wind has blown … Continue reading

The Weeping Reaping
I saw a world the other day where Angels wept up Heavens way. I asked them “What does cause your pain; they said “Those people gone insane.” I looked to where their hands did wave where Demons danced upon my … Continue reading

The Light

Where Did It Go?

Peace
Lest I find the peace within or mayhaps the peace without, I’ll never know just why I’m here or what it’s all about. Deep within my resonance and deep within my heart I need to feel the rhythm before I … Continue reading

The Mountaintop
When watching from that other place, do I even know my name? I watch on in silence as my mind plays yet another game. For I rarely find it silent and I rarely find it free; I rarely find this … Continue reading
