No Matter What
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Has the problem always been with us? I wonder. What do you think? Do you ponder the slow notes of the piano? Wonder at the length of time the sustain pedal is depressed. Surely, an odd way to look at life. It is close to the truth, […]
Only Ever
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The moon singing with the sea, in soft voices many cannot hear. As light dances with night birds, plays with the trees and grasses. Oh, to let the moon and the seas whisper to me, to tell me secrets; mine alone. To hear, impart, to add my […]

My True Voice
