I love you, like the moon loves the stars. I love you, like the clouds love the rain. I love you, like the trees love the wind. I love you, like the waves love the shore.

AC/DC: James Adamson
Bite an apple and see if everyone isn't a strategist who makes it up as they go along with a limited world. Play the piano and see if there's enough variability for creation to music your soul. Play a guitar and find the speed of vibration. It isn't enough to make you want to know … Continue reading AC/DC: James Adamson
Escape to Freedom: Jade Weedmark
I feel like a little fish swimming in a deep dark ocean full of tangled nets. I get myself tangled in a net, struggling with the pain of detainment. I cry out for help, struggling to break free. As I look around, I notice everyone else tangled in nets. I get an instant feeling of … Continue reading Escape to Freedom: Jade Weedmark

The Glimpse: Anonymous
A glimpse of faith A lie of foliage And a mistaken deed May not flow like water When the ebb of a tide Or a fall of a leaf When sun is crimson red And bounties of fate Lie true to us As life is a nest And a flight is no match For love’s … Continue reading The Glimpse: Anonymous
Starting Over: Anonymous
You said that I would amount to nothing; you gave me a stigma and a label, despite, the ups and downs I’m turning my life around. Fighting to be stable.
