Excited as ever The storm approaches I’m ready Visibility is fading Its winds covering the mountains Not sure what lives behind it’s white walls I stand ever ready The air stiffens to the cold My blood boiling for a fight I’ve been beaten and broken Still I stand The storms approaches I clench my hand […]

That one song It freezes you The guitar strums You hear her cries They resonate in your soul You breathing freezes The world is void of all sound All but this song The present fades Transported to a moment in time When this song meant the world Your skin chills The air raises your goosebumps […]

To get away Live in my own world To know what lies outside the window To see if I can make anyone feel what I do So you could cry like I did that day? To inspire hope Give my perspective To share my past For my kids For my wife For my ghosts On […]
