I looked up towards the cool night sky, Breathing in the end of Fall. “Weather seems to be turning foul; I’ll swear it’s gonna be snow.” The man who speaks stands over me His coat pulled up about him. “I wish that we could see the stars” I found myself mumbling. He shot me aContinueContinue reading “Never Once, Upon a Star”

Fire in the Waterfall
I stood before a glorious ravine, Asking myself if it was worth the fall. Trying to understand if this power and force, Cascaded with a purpose and a drive. Did it desire to be flung down the cliff side? Did it work it’s way through forests and creeks, To arrive at this place with aContinueContinue reading “Fire in the Waterfall”
Indeed, We Walk Amongst Angels
It wasn’t until the night lifted the moon above her head and shone the silver-yellow rays down atop our heads that I saw her wings; they were hidden under layers of darkness and pain. Yet as she took my freely offered heart from my trembling hands she began to remove the thick bindings of chainsContinueContinue reading “Indeed, We Walk Amongst Angels”
February Update
‘Winter, where have you been lately? You haven’t updated the blog in over a month!’ Very astute, little voice in my head. You have my sincerest apologies. Firstly, I have started back up in school, taking classes for Creative Writing and pushing myself to maintain the discipline of writing consistently (note that irony). Secondly, IContinueContinue reading “February Update”
Twelve Turns to Midnight
At the first turn we begin the dance to midnight. The single clarinet pierces the silence; A sharp clear tone to awaken the night air. The second turn takes us across the stone. A brass horn accompanies the first notes; Adding a somber tone to contrast the first. Another turn: the third this time. NowContinueContinue reading “Twelve Turns to Midnight”
Requiem for the Lost
Do we stand, or do we flee? In the far corners of the earth, the Lost Ones shamble. In tattered garb they wonder further. They know not where to go, for they are Lost and can never come home. They leave traces of their passing. The cold darkness and empty feeling is felt in theContinueContinue reading “Requiem for the Lost”
The Sound Inside (side B.)
The Head Well yes of course the Heart would lie. Did you seriously expecting anything less? It is, by it’s very nature, deceitful and self-serving. All it wants is to rule your very being, from the moment you first draw breath the the moment you gasp your last. The symptoms of it’s control are heightenedContinueContinue reading “The Sound Inside (side B.)”

Work, School, And Time Travel
Today is the day that I again dreamt of the impossible. W) Many times during work I daydream. Thinking of what I would rather be doing than sitting in a cubicle inputting data into never ending spreadsheets. Phone calls, meetings, the hub-bub of the office. There is something to be said for the dogged dedicationContinueContinue reading “Work, School, And Time Travel”
Heart of a Warrior
A short story from my notes: At the gates of the castle, the enemy gathers. A warrior stand ready to lead the defense from within. Stance wide and shoulders forward; his body is tense. He hears the battle cry of the enemy outside. He swallows his fear, his shaken hands grip his weapon tighter. ArmorContinueContinue reading “Heart of a Warrior”
