    Dark Sequoia

    My mind, a dark sequoia, towering and grim, its roots twist deep where shadows swim. From cracks in cement—black whispers rise, echoes of voices, half-truths and lies. The city pulses, a throbbing swarm, but every...

    • This is a beautiful poetic eulogy, crimsin

      • hello beautiful Fia thank you graciously he will be missed I only saw him in concert once I was in the second row center and he aimed his foam gun on me and I ducked behind my husband he seemed to get a kick out of it…I thought the prince of darkness should be remembered here,,. thank you for the love on this write 💕

    • Beautifully penned, Brenda. What a nice tribute to, Ozzy, my friend. Really love the use of song titles, this is an amazing write. He was one of a kind, and his music will live forever. Losing the artists that were part of my life’s soundtrack is very sad indeed. Appreciate you.

      • hello dearest Damian thank you graciously I’m so happy this resonated with you he truly was and is one of a kind 💕

    • Black Sabbath were pioneers and the reason heavy metal exists. Ozzy has so many good songs in his solo archives. He will be missed by millions. Nice tribute. He did indeed give us his blood and love.

      • hello dearest Tim indeed they were at the time there was no one like them and neither will there ever be again he will be missed thank you for helping me remember him 💕

    Breath of Shattered Psalms

    Each night, I step into the charred embrace of the firepits, where embers twist like tongues ...of prophets, lost to time—a seething choir of voices wailing hymns no saint could name. The blueprint for salvation burns at the edges, its...

    • I liked this, Damian.

    • Oh, so totally resonates. I don’t know where I would be without my proverbial pen. And I spent far too many years perched in neutral…only to discover there is no such thing. Either your ass is leaning in one direction or your nose is. I prefer staying informed & walking the path that suits me. Shadows & all. And i find like souls along the way when living authentic. Consider this one on my reading list with emphasis, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I wasn’t in neutral, but my wheels were always spinning. Either wound up in the ditch of life, or lost on an alcohol induced detour. Nowadays I’m living authentic as well, there’s shadows down every path I’ve found. Being aware and informed allows one to read the situation better. Thanks for the list.. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Agreed, there is always more to the story. Appreciate you.

    • That’s beautifully reflective—wisdom framed not as some lofty concept, but as lived experience layered over time. The imagery of seasons and fences evokes quiet contemplation, hesitation, even resilience. That last line? A soft unraveling of illusion. It reads like a quiet reckoning.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. You’re spot on. I believe wisdom is acquired through time and experience. Always enjoy your commentary. Appreciate you.
