Moments apart, add up, regard placed where time is spent Truth shadows every step, carefully pace, and none, resent It’s true, absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder Moments together beg that we take heed and the value, ponder Roam not in any way, if only in the ways that our toils take us Return faithful to the space we share alone, there is trust Continue Reading...
Oh Mother, Thank You
Happy Mother's Day Mom! One night a couple of months ago, I was tired and my mind was overflowing. I needed at least a little downtime and some quiet. I sat alone at my keyboard, and I felt a poem, a rhythm, that I needed to capture. Eventually I turned on some music and I came across this instrumental that I have grown to thoroughly enjoy.

Newton – Love and Grace

Delight to show mercy
In recent weeks I have been thinking an awful lot about the end of days, whether they are mine, or anyone else’s. Not in a morbid sense, but in more of a reality sense.

Then, mentally I dig a little deeper, and expand the thought process to include Continue Reading...
