The Garden of Dead
The Garden of Dead Walking through the Garden of Dead Memorials raised above dirt beds Words of hope etched in stone Plastic flowers for guilt atone Crosses of white stained with moss Saints in stone guard the lost I hate the thought of my body here A preserved corps because of fear Give me back…

Behind the Falls
Traveling for work can be tiresome and lonely, but finding friends along the way that can give you suggestions of places to visit and food to eat is essential. An outdoorsman, I hate to surrender to the elements and stay boxed in a hotel room. So, when I knew I was headed to Wisconsin and…

Darkness
Darkness The beauty of your darkness is polluted in light. What is darkness? As a child so many other kids and people were scared of the physical aspect of the dark. Not knowing what was around you; blind to the elements. I loved and still love the dark. In its embrace I am me. No…
