I’ve been coasting Half awake, half asleep Space ghosting Thought I was okay Cause I still believed Life’s been quaking Illness, disease, death Heart breaking But I saw the sun Behind every cloud If I’m not fully awake I’m not fully alive There are times to sleep Times to retreat Times to heal and hide… Continue reading Sideline

Just like heaven
Images of simplicity With all the throes removed Winding river Lulls you into another realm Strangely familiar, yet unknown Weeping and woes are but the faintest echo of ages past Warmth, joy, dancing, light refreshing rain Exploration, innovation Lush landscapes and mountainous peaks offer nothing more than exhilaration No danger, no fear, no interfering duties… Continue reading Just like heaven
