Life-

is predictable

is chaos

is joyful

is heartbreak

is health

is laughter

is serious

is playful

is work

is passion

is regret

is thoughtful

is cruel

is safe

is scary

is plentiful

is scarce

is easy

is hard

is all

is nothing

is here

is gone

is now

Live-

Do Shoal, Do Thuras

I search

I seek

when angered

I speak

I walk this earth

grateful for each step.

My life

my journey

your life

your journey.

Leading

following

meaning in the meaningless

simple pleasures

standing strong

against the odds

truth is truth

surrounded by lies

no answers to why.

Every breathe

every step…

Live it real

live it now

within you know how

time is skipping

sunrise

sunset

another step

another tick

closer to death…

Standing Stone

Standing stone

I am a rock

Born early

born small

A month with no love at all.

Mothers love

bright and strong

Father

Gone

Abandoned

pain

bright and strong

A wounded child

bright and strong

grows and serves

bright and strong

First love

bright and strong

hard choices

Gramps and Grandma

bright and strong

salt of the earth

Rock Strong

Gramps-my Father

Proud and loud

Grandma-Grams

Smoke and silence

We loved well…

Mother-

Friends come and friends go

Lovers come and lovers go

heart beats

heart breaks

life goes on…

Broken body

broken dreams

Strong as a rock

on a winters eve.

Marry, Mate

Love and Create

two Daughters

Bright and Strong

cruel games of mind

biding time

Escaped

Broken Heart

Broken Bonds

Rise above

the rising tides.

Moving on

like a rock

I stand the tides

We abide.

My greatest strength

is my strength.

Like a rock

Ma, I miss you

bright and strong

my memories live on

the people

the places

the faces

Painful, it has been

but,

love always begins again.

I rise

I endure

I compromise

I adapt

I laugh

I cry

I teach

I reach?

I write

I fight

I strive

sometimes

I wither on the vine

sometimes

I die

but,

if I rise

in my broken pieces

I walk

I breathe

I think

I feel

I rise

and try again

bright and strong

like a rock.

Standing stone.
