Scars within whisper tales only your soul can hear,
Silent stories hidden deep, beyond the world's ear.
In shadows they softly speak, of pain and grace,
A secret song of healing, in your quiet space
She was still a nomad, searching for a safe and quiet place to dwell.
A gypsy soul with a dreamers heart and an artist's spirit.
Perhaps it was her dreams that kept her whole...

-Rhia Clay
This life is our classroom, we are tested in many ways,
The hardest, are the final exams, when someone we love,
Journeys to their next life, always a cloudy day.
Many people, will say they are sorry, and offer anything,
That they can do, only time can help you get past, that hollow,
Numb feeling, inside of you.
The question why, will often enter your mind, do not ponder to long,
You will never, discover the answer, during this life time.
You will never again, in this life see their physical being,
Often in your times of struggle, you will receive guidance, and knowledge, that their spirit, will bring.
When someone passes, it reminds you of reality, the joy and happiness,
A soul inside does bring, always out ranking, material things.
Memories, we create them every day your actions, will be remembered,
Longer than all of the words you say. Even the big dreamers,
Are living, on borrowed time, each life has a finish line.
Try to create good memories, the only part of you, that will stay,
One day, we will all be a memory of, yesterday.

Not in wands or whispered spells,
Nor towers where a wizard dwells.
Not in potions, cloaks, or charms—
But in quiet things with open arms.

The moon that pulls the restless tide,
A seed that splits the earth with pride.
The stars that died to make our skin,
The dreams we fight and hold within.

I love to believe in magic,
Not the kind from books—
But the one that lives in dreams,
In the beauty of a soul that looks.

Every single thing has its own shine—
Even a water droplet, catching light like a star.
The stars themselves, so distant and rare,
Speak to us of what we truly are.

The plants—they whisper secrets green,
So simple, soft, and yet serene.
Humans, too—so wild and deep,
A thousand layers they try to keep.

Our world is just like fantasy,
It seems too perfect to be real.
How rare the things we feel inside—
The love, the ache, the truths we seal.

The warmth we feel from someone’s glance,
The ache of love, the pull of chance.
The breath of truth in honest voice,
The strength to fall—and still have choice.

There is no magic like you see in shows,
But still—this world in secret glows.
Not fantasy, but something true:
The real magic lives inside of you.

In faith, in hope, in sacred light,
In walking through the darkest night.
You carry skies behind your eyes—
And paint your soul across the skies.

And if you ever doubt your way,
Just listen when the silence stays—
It has a voice, and so do you.
A whisper soft, a dream made true.
If you love love you are going to love this
After death,
I will not be gone—
I will be wind, touching your skin,
I will be silence, deep within.

The body fades, the name dissolves,
But the soul—
The soul returns to the rhythm of stars,
To the breath before beginnings,
To the light that dreams all forms.

There is no end,
Only a door swinging inward.
I become the question and the answer,
The seed, the flame, the sky undone.

I will not speak,
But you will feel me in stillness—
When time pauses,
And your heart remembers
That it too is part of the infinite.

Death is not loss,
But a returning to source.
A merging with the song
That sings through all.

So do not mourn—
I have not vanished.
I have returned to everything.
i'm a lost soul,
ash for pieces,
stranded
with failures
that pray
in quiet memories,
to be remembered.
July 2025
I remember.
Sweaty palms,  
Cherry bombs,
Sunday Psalms,
Your whoopin’s mom.
And I remember you...

Summer breeze,
Swaying trees,
Trembling knees,
Friday tease,  
Searching so
desperately.  
I remember you...

Do you feel the rain?
Yesterday’s rain.  
Yesterday’s rain.

You...
Met you cussin’
on the old bus,  
Lovely and delicious,  
Sketchy and suspicious.  
You - addictive and contagious…

Hoping you would notice.
Know this,
I remember you...

You..,
Thinking I’s a wise guy,  
Beautiful and wide eyed,
Giving me the side eyes,  
Wearing faded tie dye,
Ripping on your side
guy.    
I remember you...

Do you feel the rain?
Yesterday’s rain.  
Yesterday’s rain.  

I was really reckless.  
You were simply luscious,  
I could not resist us.  
I think you
stole my necklace.

Know this,
I fell in love
with you.  

I got your number, baby.
Dancing in the summer baby.  

But, you -
not falling
too...

Do you feel the rain?
With love there is
no justice.  
Just this
pain.  
And yesterday’s rain.  
Dancing in
yesterday’s rain.  

Yesterday’s rain.  
Yesterday’s rain.  
How, I fell in love
With you.
This song is best listened to - not read.

Whisky in my tea,
When cold bites and wind blows
A deep sip soothes me.
every word on the page
does not show the soul bound to it

And that

but lacking these words,
the soul would have nothing to bind to
A withered soul at the shore of dreams,
It pondered the waves as they gleamed—
Arrays of light, oh, what heaven beams,
Caused by clouds so white they seem
Formed from pearls or angel’s wings.

It prayed for this day to be its last,
For no day shall be worthy as this day will.
A weary spirit lingers where light and shadow meet, yearning for release beneath celestial whispers.
