"Ascension" 🔴
And if I go, while you're still here, know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me, so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again, both aware of each other. Until then, live your life to its fullest. And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart, I will be there.

Remember joy
"To live in this world you must be able to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it against your own bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go

"Sea's Enticing Song" (Commissioned work) 🔴
The perpetual cadence of the vast sea
Stirs a restless desire that engulfs me.
Like an infinite force I dare not impede,
Briefly rushing in - only to then recede.
Beckoning me to leave life's safe shore,
Into deep waters of mystery and lore.

"Sailing by Starlight”
“At dusk I walked a well worn trail,
And fell upon a ship to sail,
It sleeping on the sandy shore,
I cast it off in nighttime pale,
Unlike the days I've sailed before,
I swept over a moonlit floor,
The water same as sky with waves,
But boats prefer the water more,
And I would join the stars that bathe,
If just to touch the light they gave.”
