The beat is pounding, eardrums are straining The bass rocks the soul Visions of arms begin swaying in the air Sweat is dripping, clothes are sticking, hips are gyrating Over and over the beat flows First the rock and then the roll drifting through the night The vibrations carrying them higher and higher Lips smack, nipples … Continue reading Rave

The Big Wheel
Sneakers push peddles moving the big wheel down the street Bright and sunny day, slight breeze blowing through the trees Branches swaying in the air, silent cheerleaders observing a game Houses all along the way Kids playing, laughter, small shrieks of surprise, shouts of “Your it!” fill the air The big wheel rolls down the … Continue reading The Big Wheel
The Struggle
I close my eyes and the world fades away Shadows float before my eyes Always inviting, seeking to pull me into their world. I chuckle, I’ve seen their games before and for sure I am no fool I search the darkness and images of my past come rushing forward Some are images that never occurred … Continue reading The Struggle

Don’t Quit Don’t Stop
Good morning Today I would like to share with you a powerful moment I shared with two coworkers. Since we were children, we have had limits put upon us. From the time we were born, we have been told we could not do everything we wanted or dreamed about. We were continually told, you can’t … Continue reading Don’t Quit Don’t Stop
PUSH PAST IT
Good Morning, This past November I spent time with the other men in my family as we do each year. It is a tradition that began with my grandfather over fifty years ago. During our time together, we spend valuable time-sharing stories, memories, and ageless wisdom passed on from father to son. It is a … Continue reading PUSH PAST IT
