Sweet or Sour
You may be tasty Sweet with juice Or is there a reason Even the birds find an excuse; Not to pluck you from The barren tree They dare not taste The essence of thee; Because of these things I’ll leave you be To decorate The stark scenery; Never to know If you’re sweet or sour… Read More Sweet or Sour

Void of Silence
In the void of silence Hear the words Whispered So, they’re barely heard; They speak volumes About who you are Prophesy About your rise and fall; Some days they’ll torment Wear you down Scream Your lost, never to be found; Other times they’ll encourage Lift you up Sing In praise of sweet success; In the… Read More Void of Silence

Sweetest Souls
Why do the sweetest souls Always go too soon Leaving us to reminisce About past sunsets and risen moons; To a time, your face was bright with color And your laughter filled the air When the sparkle in your eyes Said more than words could ever share; Yet still I search for pieces Of the… Read More Sweetest Souls

Happy Rock Garden
Not much ever happens In the garden of rocks But if you listen closely You just might hear them talk; Although there is no guarantee You’ll understand what you’ll hear Since the language of plants is reserved For only tiny green plant ears; And as for proof that plants Do indeed communicate There really isn’t… Read More Happy Rock Garden
