Says his team has to play hard.
Well, duh - it's football!

The road less traveled
Is often a path
No highway signs
No charts of graphs
Sometimes it's with others…

Just-sharpened pencils,
A new notebook with paper;
Smells like fresh knowledge.

Traveling by train,
Click-clacking across the land
You see a lot more.

'Daddy Joy'

Papa ate the Easter bunny
And shot the one eyed cat
He told the truth about Santa Claus
Saw nothing wrong with that…

Did you ever wonder why music touches everyone? I have. No matter how
young, old, or the culture it touches something very primitive in all
of us. Music has the power to make one laugh or cry or come together.
Music is magic. Don't believe me? Just watch a crowd at a concert no
matter the genre. Watch concert goers sing every verse to a ballad or
get swept away deep into a concerto. Watch a teen bop to a booming base
in a car or brood in the bedroom to the…

I need more dream time.
My pillow misses my head.
Is it bedtime yet?

This lyric is a gentle reminder to me that it's ok to be human.
----------
"Sometimes, even music cannot substitute for tears" - Paul Simon,
The Cool, Cool River, Rhythm of the Saints.
The power of music is strong. It's a fact. It's not always clear how or why these sounds affect us so much, but they do. People associate times and…

White noise from gray road
Blocks out many distractions.
I can hear myself..

Yes, I am married to a very strange man. We have not lived together for 2 years. He chooses to live a very different lifestyle. My beloved is truly a gypsy. Even today he is living in a home where he has bought time. In approximately 2 weeks he will be on the street again with 5 dogs and 4 cats. Currently he is living there with no electricity or water. Althought he tells me I'm the one living wrong and working for the MAN! at least I am now living in comfort unlike himself. I love this man and…

Small in stature he is a charming ball of energy with the biggest brown eyes you have ever seen.
The eyelashes on those brown eyes are amazingly long. If it were not for such charm and pure talent he probably would not be where he is today. I am sure he is very thankful that he is.

Just things in a box;
Stuff forgotten until now.
Reclaimed memories.

Sleep is...
all mine. It's when I stop. Breathe.
Say no to the bad and yes to the good.
What I say goes.
Sleep is when I feel the comfort of the duvet on my bare skin
as the comfort of the universe
scooping me into a maternal hug.
It's when the slowed rhythm of my slumber
synchronizes with the innate purr of my furry friends.
It's when I lay open with my love and he with me,
aligning our forces to face the coming day.
Sleep is…

As I lay in the darkness of another man’s bed, thoughts of you invade every fiber of my being. I try to push you away but don’t have the strength. I attempt to pull you closer but you escape my desperate pulls.
Seeing you was both thrilling and excruciating. Betrayal and love catches in my
throat and refuses to abscond. The dark, skeletal hands of memories grab
endlessly at me as our soundtrack of passion and bitter disappointment…

No one really fits.
People have curves, boxes don't.
Don't force me in one.

It has decided to quit.

Beauty is rarely painless.
