I smelled rain today and thought of you.
It whisked me back to a time of innocence
And forever-long summers.
You towered over me;
My hand tiny in your grasp.
Your voice, boomed.
All I heard was love.
Big as a mountain
With eyes of sky blue.
You smelled of Old Spice and leather.
An ordinary day with you,
Was an extraordinary day
For me.
You
Were Loved.

A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
"Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love." 1 Cor. 16:13-14
Let's get on the roller coaster of life, with the garnish of poetry and see where it takes us, beyond the world or under the oceans. So Buckle Up!!!
Leadership development, inspiring creativity, and personal transformation.
Psycho poetry from my Guts
Where a little insanity goes a long way
the reverberation of a hidden well...freed.
I write about Passion. Sex. Love. Pain. Darkness. All of it.
um...
Where I share my jewels of wisdom of life

random musings of me
poetry, writer's lift wednesday, music, and other stuff
Poetry, stories and strange odds and ends from the desk of a writer
Full-time daydreamer, half-time paranoid.
Philosophy is all about being curious, asking basic questions. And it can be fun!
