This I Know
This man writes constantly about peace and war. What is he saying? Writes and writes some more, has he become a bore? He abjures praying. He is trying to point out we’re more than broken. How we balk. Does he think he’s the only one who’s played this token? Is it all just talk? […]
Within the Storm
In darkness, cold, lost, alone. Where stands the promised tower We are hard upon the shore Where the light, the horn, the bell, the clarion call we yearn to hear Razor close, we draw near the shoal Night shrouded, sewn up by dark clouds and dense fog; some pray Jagged rocks loom Bravely we […]

Ad Perpetuam Memoriam
Some days it rains and some days the sun does shine Doesn’t really matter much when I make them mine Yet if I’m low, dreary rain may blind me to the truth Other days, though rain mocks me, I am hail and soothe My thoughts don’t turn the world, or my feelings seasons Both rain […]
