Notes bounce off the walls humming in a cacophony of noise. Listening with an acute ear the composer chooses two notes to blend, pair, align and connect. Starting off in a major key, their piece flowed. Lead through the mase of chords, shifting through key changes growing and maturing over the length of rests. Through…
It was two years in the making At least now there’s no faking I’m grateful God intervened My soul now feeling cleaned It took two to tango Outcome not pretty like Van Gogh Should have listened to the One upstairs He’s the only one that truly cares Appearance can be a trap If they talk…
Lord, heal my body I said without knowing all the ways You would heal my life. Starting from my heart, the inbred deformity I carried since birth. Every day You kissed it all better, and it hurt. Your kisses hurt me, more than I would have ever expected. They were also the only medicine that…

hearing the pitter-patter in the quiet of the morning. seeing the little furry face pop around the corner, just to check on you. all the little things we take for granted. knowing that someone is always. beside you. just wanting to be near. hoping for a crumb of food or a lazy pat. all the…
