The Old Stone Bridge

A small stream still flows under the old stone bridge. Just enough that it gets muddy from time to time. In the spring the frogs lay their eggs there. You can hear the spring peepers from miles away. In the autumn fallen leaves and barren twigs threaten to dam the flow. But the stream moves... Continue Reading →

Monster

Come close and listen. I’ll tell the tale of a monster. One that not only walks the streets at night. But lives among us in our communities. This monster looks human. But its soul is demonic. It speaks and smiles and shakes its neighbors hands. But deep down it is plotting, seeding hatred and distrust.... Continue Reading →

Valley

Lying in my bed again. I’m watching the shadows dance across the ceiling, As cars drive by outside my window. I feel myself entering the valley of despair. Wondering what’s going to be on the other side for me, Wondering what I'm going to be, What I'll give up and leave behind. Wish I had... Continue Reading →

Crumbling

Another tragedy has hit the airwaves. Blood and tears echo thoughts and prayers. How much can we take? Are we past the breaking point? The corporations sell us the cure as a monthly subscription plan. All to bandage the gaping wound that they caused. Set the planet ablaze just to feel something. As the vision... Continue Reading →

Safe Harbor

Can we leave the horrors of this life? Charter a vessel and take off to the ocean? We could live just the two of us with just a boat and a dream. Escape the coast and find our freedom on the high seas. We do not need to fear the crashing waves. Endless blue and... Continue Reading →

Whip-poor-will

Hear the loud cry of the whip-poor-will. A trumpet in the lofty branches of the sycamore tree. It cries out with questions. Uncertainty and fear.
