At Dusk
At dusk I watch the setting sun A time to stand, no need to run A peaceful calm like satin sheets The scent of Spring on air so sweet A chirping bird heard here and there As for their respite they prepare The auburn sky I gaze upon With Mother Nature I am one In…

Fate & Destination
I need you in my life I guess I always knew I did I felt it deep inside But I always kept it hid Afraid you may reject me Or afraid that you would not Was it fate and destination? I never really gave a thought I denied the joy you bring me Worried what…

Secrets of the Night
In the forest after midnight She walks a path alone Among the owl and the pine Is where she truly feels at home A universe wide open Secrets many it can tell If you only listen closely It can teach it’s many spells The moon is like a mother A glowing, guiding hand The air…

Night Strolling
I went out strolling late last night Beneath a moon that shimmered bright The streets were silent, not a sound Was not another soul around The houses dark, all fast asleep With Morpheus they slumber deep The evening cool, a gentle breeze I walk unfettered where I please A peaceful shroud encircles me Here in…

PWS
Pizza Whiskey Sleep To be fair, the whiskey and pizza are not overly regular occurrences. The most important one to me, particularly after starting a job with 12 hour shifts, is sleep. However, if a day is particularly rough, I might indulge a bit. Nothing crazy, mind you. Just enough to take the edge off,…

Iron G in the House
So, as I said earlier today, I was going to try another of my incredibly stupid, “why would anyone willingly do that?” workout experiments. Due to my current work environment, the need to be able to move easily under high heat, high stress conditions with a modicum of strength is paramount. I am not in…

Sardonically Serious Saturday
Because I couldn’t think of any other title mostly. 🤷♂️ Hope everyone’s weekend is going well so far. It’s looking to be a quiet and rainy one around here. By the time this posts, I should have started my next experimental workout. One thing I figured out on this new job is I need to…

WP is the main jam
I don’t really do much other than WP. Never really had the urge. And overall, other social media just seems too pissy to me. I get enough of that in daily life that I don’t feel I need any more. Everyone I talk to always seems agitated when they get off their pages, and it…

Knight So Black
Once I rode a horse so white Fought for all that’s good and right I had a code, I had a creed Helping others when in need My heart was pure like driven snow From mountain high to valley low My deeds were praised in joyous song And then one day it all went wrong…

Forked Up Friday
As another week draws to a close, I sit here tired, sore and contemplating life over coffee number two; soon to be coffee number three, for those keeping score. My moods have been up and down for a couple weeks now, as most of you are painfully aware. Quite truthfully, they still are. And that…

We had a great turnout this week, and I am deeply grateful to everyone for participating. Your works, as always, are absolutely fantastic. I am humbled to be surrounded by so…

Decisions, decisions.
This is another one of those prompts that I find myself saying “what the hell?” to. I don’t think it’s as much the prompts, as my attitude towards them at the moment. Every decision could be an opportunity to learn and grow. What we study in school, what jobs we apply for, whom we socialize…

All this time…
Wasted. I’ll give the preemptive warning now: this is probably going to be all over the map. 😄 I don’t know if it’s this roller coaster I am on lately or what, but I feel like I am all over the freaking map where time is concerned. In theory, I should, and do, have way…

Ode To A Sister
I read the words you wrote today They hit me in the hardest way The tears were falling just like rain As I relived each ounce of pain Your iron will I so admire How you were forged in fiercest fire A braver soul I’ve rarely met We have not seen your finest yet A…

Peaks and Valleys
Peaks and valleys, they abound Finish one, another round Always climbing, never stops Climb again to reach the top Tired, sore and feeling lost Is the climbing worth the cost? Staring up, a peak so high Don’t think you’ll ever touch the sky But still you try, God only knows Pelted by the freezing snows…

It’s About Family
This is another prompt I really don’t wish to get too specific on. My family in general has helped me several times. They have helped me immensely during personal tragedies and professional setbacks. I am very grateful to them for that.

There Comes A Time
There comes a time in every life Cut so deeply by the knife Sliced so deeply to the bone A greater pain you’ve never known A state of shock as there you lie A look of panic in your eyes As claret flows in floods abound You think of all you’ve lost and found Before…

Forever True
Staring at the evening sky I often sit and wonder why Why we do the things we do And tell ourselves a lie so true Convince ourselves of better days Even when we lose our ways We stumble blind and truly lost We pay but we ignore the cost Constantly the cost will rise Right…

Hello
Hello all, I hope this post finds everyone well. I would like to thank you all for your messages of support and friendship. Please forgive my lack of comments, but rest assured they are read and appreciated. I am currently going through a period of adjustment in my life, and it is affecting me both…

Long Goodbye
On a battlefield of broken dreams From far away the muffled screams The ghosts of those who came before To walk this world for nevermore The echoes of a haunted past Were not the first, won’t be the last The cycle it will never cease Without the war there is no peace A cycle of…

Winds of Fortune
Winds of fortune, sail away Perhaps return another day Perhaps return to open shore Or drift away forever more If I drift out to the sea There’s no need to look for me I’ll follow heart to where it leads To where I’m finding all I need Sailing towards the setting sun Said farewell to…

Ten Years Gone
What a magnificent song. Listening to it as I type this post. Then as it was, then again it will beAnd though the course may change sometimesRivers always reach the seaBlind stars of fortune, each have several raysOn the wings of maybe, down in birds of preyKind of makes me feel sometimes, didn’t have to…

Idle Hands
Idle hands and active mind Wander through a life unkind In a hole and in a haze Wandering through a twisted maze And though I try to leave this place Reality is in my face Mocking me at every turn A secret I have yet to learn Don’t want to scream don’t want to shout…
