Brisk Stop
Brisk Stop. Listening to that bubble pop. Pop. Lights hanging from the rafters. We're just dancing non stop. Flash of brilliance. Flash of light. The noise cuts out completely. Then the beat drops. The wails come from the living. The laughter from the dead. Losing focus. Gaining verve. The madness of the crowd sends us over... Continue Reading →

We’re Still Here
We're still here. Walking between the giants. Their thunderous steps shake the earth. While our small pitter patters are all but drowned out. We are often overlooked or not noticed at all.

A lone fisherman stands on the river bank. Line cast and small, red bobber floating on the river’s surface. The early morning sun begins to burn... Continue Reading →
