yesterday was different
my heart was changed
ill have to make a decision
to remember forever
it would be like that either way

Kalliope
He was somber for most of his life
Until one day, he simply said no-
He wanted to explore, to be as he is,
Not swallowing storms just to cope.

So he'll make the changes, and drive all the miles,
Blue eyes lighting up in the sun-
Feeling lighter with every breath,
His traveling soul on the run.

He’ll gather stories of a life well-lived,
Dark days fading into the past-
A history he once held way too tightly,
Now softened by joy at last.

Maybe he’ll sing after drinks at the bar,
Or trade tales with unguarded delight.
And though it’s all so wonderfully new-
You can tell by his face: It’s just right.
There's not a playbook on how life should be
Let go and follow your truth, life is better lived free

Strong waves crash, deep blue green
One world gone, new shells gleam

Strong winds grasp, at the quiet world around
Pulled up grass, treasure underneath hidden then found

Strong flames consume, red hot fury
blackened trees exist, under the Gods grand jury

Loud waves roar, erode stubborn rock
Our world is at a war, that does not stop

Loud winds moan, tearing through years of things grown
Our world is at war, the cycle vicious and well known

Loud flames howl, lava churns in earth's bowel
Our world is at war, catastrophe on the prowl

Long peace, long awaited
War or Renewal?
The grass grows greener, trees grow taller, She consumes all that is older

You know I'll always be afraid?
just corrupted that way

You know I’ll always feel rage?
they showed me how when I was under age

You know I cry a lot?
for just one soft spot
